The start of Windsor can be found lying in the beginning of the 7th century Saxon hamlet of Windlesora, where the present day village of Old Windsor can be located. The settlement of Windsor is correctly branded as “New Windsor” – the phrase “new” being referenced in a strictly relative sense!

Windsor Castle was firstly put up by William the Conqueror, as a result of his hit of England in ten sixty-six. The original frame was constructed from lumber with gravel ramparts. Windsor Castle held an obvious tactical position on a tall mound above the River Thames, and was a fraction of a number of of strongholds surrounding the City, with the Tower of London, one whole days walk away, at its middle.

The Palace was soon after redesigned in rock, and rose in value over the centuries. In recent times Henry 2nd erected the Round Tower and the original stone outer wall. Following the English Civil War, the structure’s key role became that of a royal palace. Windsor Castle has remained mainly unaffected ever since the beginning of the nineteenth century, apart from the repair work right after the fire in 1992.
