Unlock the Secrets of Christchurch Castle and Norman House
About this Event
Led by our knowledgeable expert volunteer, this tour uncovers the rich history behind two remarkable survivals of a once vast, elite residence. For over 200 years, this site served as a fortified home and administrative hub for the influential de Redvers family, Earls of Devon. Discover how the impressive stone keep atop its earthen mound stood as a towering symbol of power, while the nearby riverside chamber block—the Norman House—offered comfortable private living space. Today, the Norman House remains a remarkably rare surviving example of 12th-century domestic architecture.
