The architectural style of medieval castles in England

The architectural style of medieval castles in England was diverse, ranging from early motte and bailey castles to later stone keeps, all embodying defensive design principles. Curtain walls and towers formed the main defensive system of the castles, while great halls served as important living and gathering places within. Bailey areas provided necessary farmland and housing for the castles, adding layers of defense. Defensive features such as moats and drawbridges further enhanced the castles' defensive capabilities, making them significant military forts in medieval England.
