 Castles of the Yorkshire Dales · [ Richmond Castle ] · written by Glyn Harris for Daelnet's The Yorkshire ...
Alan the Red was one of these men and he was given the Borough of Richmond as a reward for his good service to William I. He started to build Richmond Castle, in stone, around 1071, choosing a natural defensive position 100 ft above the River Swale.
The 100 ft high keep was started by Conan the Little, Earl of Richmond in the third quarter of the 12th century and was finished by Henry II (1154 -1189).
The fact that the keep was built on rock, rather than on a man-made earth motte, enabled the builders to construct a very solid structure which has stood up well to the passage of time.
