The Motte and Bailey Castle in Horsham, West Sussex. Who knew there was a Motte and Bailey Castle in Horsham in West Sussex. Not me, and I lived in Horsham as a boy. The lovely Julia and I pop along to a piece of wasteland in the North East of the town to discover the old Norman defence, where soon after the invasion of 1066 a timber stronghold would have stood. ------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE SUPPORT THE BALD EXPLORER My videos are funded by people lik
