	The Man Who Invented the Wheel, and Paid the Price
		The original castle was built by one of the early earls of Chester circa 1100 and was rebuilt in the 13th century by Ranulph de Blundeville, Earl of Chester.
		The castle was much neglected in the 18th century, but after 1783 extensive alterations were made which included the removal of the bay windows, tall chimneys and characteristic gable-roofed attic storeys and refacing of the exterior of the entire south wing.
		From the Ferrers, the castle passed by marriage to the Shirleys of Chartley in 1688; again by marriage to the Comptons, earls of Northampton in 1715 and to the Townshends of Raynham in 1751.

	The Dating of Medieval Military Architecture
		The castle itself was probably founded soon after the Norman occupation of Ceredigion in the reign of Henry I (1100-35), and it is possible that the keep was built soon afterwards on terra firma, as has been proved at Skenfrith and suggested at Clifford and Bronllys.
		When Faulkes Breaut gained the castle in 1215/6 he proceeded to strengthen it with 'towers and outer defences' and 'towers and walls and outer walls from the stones of the churches, and surround it on all sides with deep moats of pavement'.
		To avoid this stale repetition is one of the main purposes of my series of booklets on castles and their tenurial histories - to show what is left both historically and architecturally and then to attempt to combine the two to formulate a reasoned hypothesis of a castle's development using available evidence, rather than speculation.

	Duvelle German to English Translation - History
		Duffield can trace its origins back to about the sixth century and was probably so named by the Angles.
		The first written record of Duffield and its appended townships appears in the Domesday Book that was compiled in or about AD 1086.
		Duffield Castle does not appear in the record because it was built somewhat later by Henry de Ferrers in the 12th century - and was razed by Henry III about 1266 after Robert de Ferrers had joined with the rebellion of Simon de Montfort.

	Duffield Castle. Lecture by William Bland at the Temperance Hall, Wirksworth on Tuesday January 11th 1887
		To Eugenulph he entrusted the charge of Duffield Castle, and there he resided until his death, which took place shortly before that of his father.
		His devotion to King Richard during his absence in the holy land led him to unite with the Earl of Chester in besieging Nottingham Castle, then held by the supporters of John, brother of the King, who was laying claim to the throne on a false report being circulated of Richard's death.
		Owing to the intercession of several of the most powerful of the barons, Robert De Ferrars was set free in 1269, and he died in 1278, leaving a son John, from whose issue were descended the Ferrars of Chartley who became extinct in the reign of Henry VI.

	RTÉ.ie Sport - O'Brien adds to Group One tally at Doncaster
		High Chaparral was a 10-1 chance this morning, but sustained support saw him shortened to 9-2 at the off, with Castle Gandolfo, and 8-13 chance in the mile test run over the straight mile because of the state of the ground on the round mile course.
		Everything looked plain sailing for favourite backers when George Duffield sent Castle Gandolfo into the lead with a quarter of a mile to run, with High Chaparral going in pursuit, but showing signs of greenness and tending to edge left.
		However, the latter really found his stride as he neared the far rails, and quickening up in fine style, got on top well inside the final furlong to score by three quarters of a length, with Redback five lengths adrift in third.
