Ghost Hunt at the<strong> <i>eerie</i> </strong><b>Oxford Castle &amp; Prison</b>.

Oxford Castle is steeped in history.  A large, partly ruined Norman medieval castle in central Oxford.

It would once have been a motte and bailey with a moat but this was replaced with stone in the 13th Century.  Oxford Castle played a crucial role in the conflict of the Anarchy.

In the 14th century, the castle was no longer valuable to the military and the site became used as a prison as well as for county administration.
<h4><em><strong>Will we encounter the King associated with Oxford Prison? </strong></em></h4>
Sadly, most of the existing 12th Century Castle was destroyed during the English Civil War, but by the 18th century the remaining buildings had become Oxford's local prison.  In 1785 a new prison complex was built and expanded in 1876. It then became HM Prison Oxford.

The medieval remains of the castle, including the motte, St George's Tower and the crypt are Grade I listed buildings.
