It sez 'ere...

"Lancaster Castle is a medieval castle in Lancaster in the English county of Lancashire. Its early history is unclear, but may have been founded in the 11th century on the site of a Roman fort overlooking a crossing of the River Lune. In 1164, the Honour of Lancaster, including the castle, came under royal control."

So yeah - OLD! :D

Some info on it's role as a prison here...

Thank you for the link. Fascinating history about the Pendleton Witches, in particular.
