Someries Castle : Intended as a visual record these images were taken at Someries Castle, Luton, Bedfordshire in April 2006. Someries Castle takes its name from William de Someries whose residence on this site preceeded the castle which was built by John, Lord Wenlock after he acquired the site in 1430. Although the building was never completed, (Wenlock was killed in the Battle of Tewkesbury,) it remains important as one of the first brick buildings built in England. Much of the gatehouse, chapel and lodge still stand despite partial destruction of the building in 1742. Further interest in the site comes courtesy of 'Heart of Darkness' author Joseph Conrad who lived in the neighbouring farmhouse whilst writing 'Under Western Eyes.'
