Britannia Castles: Dunster Castle, Somerset |
 | | Some would attribute to this William, the building in stone of the shell-keep of Dunster and the earliest stone walls of the lower ward, but their date, since they have almost entirely disappeared, is very problematical. |
 | | Their house died out in direct male line, in 1376, and the widow and daughters of the last Baron sold Dunster to Lady Elizabeth Luttrell, widow of Sit Andrew Luttrell of Chilton, and daughter of the Earl of Devon. |
 | | Though Dunster did not belong to a "Malignant," it was put into the general list of fortresses to be "slighted" but the order was carried out without little zeal. |
