Hadleigh Castle and views towards Kent and Southend on Sea
- Hadleigh Castle and views towards Kent and Southend on Sea
- Hadleigh Castle was built by Hubert de Burgh in 1215, during the reign of Henry III. It was extended by Edward III during the Hundred Years War against the French, as a means of defending the Thames. The refurbishment was completed in 1370, although Edward’s successors largely left the castle to fall into disrepair and parts of it were demolished and sold off as building materials. What remains of it is now a Grade I listed building and scheduled monument. The chimney on the right of the image is in Kent. The town at the back of the picture, to the right of the left-most part of the castle, is Southend on Sea.
