Arundel Castle - the Keep and Norman Gateway, 1845. Creator: Unknown
Arundel Castle - the Keep and Norman Gateway, 1845. View of the medieval castle at Arundel in West Sussex. We are happy to learn that his Grace the Duke of Norfolk has just directed that this truly magnificent " ancestral home" be opened to the public, for inspection, on two days in the week of the present season; an announcement which will be very gratifying to tourists...The Keep, the above Gateway, with some of the walls, are all that remain of the ancient Castle, if we except the Barbican, or Beviss Tower - a Norman addition, now an ivy-mantled ruin. The Keep, too, is nearly covered with massive foliage. It has been long tenanted by some owls of large size and beautiful plumage, sent over from America as presents to the eleventh Duke. They are especial favourites with visitors. From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII

Arundel Castle - the Keep and Norman Gateway, 1845 - A Glimpse into History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1845, offering a mesmerizing view of Arundel Castle in West Sussex, England. The medieval castle stands proudly, showcasing its grandeur through the remaining structures of the Keep and Norman Gateway. This ancestral home has long been cherished by the Duke of Norfolk, who recently made an exciting decision to open it for public inspection on select days each week during this season. The photograph reveals a scene steeped in history; ancient walls whisper tales of battles fought and nobles who once graced these grounds. Amidst the ruins lies Beviss Tower, now adorned with ivy as a testament to time's passage. Nature has claimed its space here too, with lush foliage nearly engulfing the majestic Keep that was once inhabited by owls gifted from America to the eleventh Duke. As tourists flock to witness this architectural marvel firsthand, they are greeted not only by remarkable fortifications but also by these magnificent owls – beloved companions that have become favorites among visitors over time. Preserved within the pages of "Illustrated London News" this engraving transports us back to an era when Arundel Castle stood tall as a symbol of power and prestige. It invites us to explore our rich heritage while immersing ourselves in its timeless beauty.
