	CastleXplorer - Grosmont Castle
		Grosmont Castle, along with Skenfrith and White, is one of three castles built to protect one of the main routes through the border region between England and South Wales.
		The name Grosmont is derived from the French 'gros mont' meaning 'big hill', an apt name for the large mound that the castle is built on.
		Although all three castles were maintained only Grosmont was used as a home, and during the 14th century the Lancasters remodelled the buildings around the inner ward to make accommodation more suitable for a noble household.

	Grosmont, Esk Valley
		Grosmont was originally Grandimont, taking its name from a small priory founded about 1200 which once stood near the north bank of the Esk, but unlike the ironworks, the priory has left no visible sign of its existence.
		During the early part of the 19th century Grosmont became an important centre for the mining and smelting of iron ore. The industry has long since ceased and the furnaces have been demolished but the waste lands still remain between the river and the railway station.
		Grosmont became a relatively important junction, and the station was quite a hive of industry in the ensuing years.
