Wisbech Castle was a stone to motte-and-bailey castle built to fortify Wisbech (historically in the Isle of Ely and now also in the Fenland District of Cambridgeshire, England) on the orders of William I in 1072, it probably replaced an earlier timber and turf complex. The layout was probably oval in shape and size, on the line still marked by the Circus. The original design and layout is unknown.It was rebuilt in stone in 1087.The castle was reputedly destroyed in a flood in 1236.In the 15th century, repairs were becoming too much for the ageing structure, and a new building was started in 1478 under John Morton, Bishop of Ely (later Archbishop of Canterbury and Chancellor of England). His successor, John Alcock, extended and completed the re-building and died in the Castle in 1500. Subse

  • Wisbech Castle var ett slott i Wisbech, Cambridgeshire i östra England. Slottet byggdes av Vilhelm Erövraren för att förstärka Wisbech 1072. Detta slott förstördes dock av en översvämning 1236 och hur denna byggnad tidigare såg ut är okänt. Reparationer av slottet påbörjades under 1400-talet, men när det blev uppenbart att dessa reparationer var för kostsamma bestämdes det att byggas en helt ny byggnad istället. Byggnationerna påbörjades 1478 under övervakning av John Morton, biskop av Ely, men det var hans efterträdare John Alcock som färdigställde slottet. Biskop John avled senare i slottet år 1500. (sv)
