Baynard's Castle

Baynard's Castle era un castello, esistito in epoca medioevale, sito a Londra. Esso fu in varie epoche un castello, un palazzo ed una casa. Esso esistette sullo stesso sito, nel sud-ovest della City of London, per 600 anni dai tempi della conquista normanna dell'Inghilterra fino al grande incendio di Londra. Il nome dice che appartenne al normanno Ralph Baynard.
Conquistando Londra, ancora racchiusa nel London Wall, Guglielmo il Conquistatore cercò di aumentare la protezione della città facendo costruire du castelli. Uno di questi, successivamente chiamato Baynard's Castle, era ubicato nella zona occidentale della città e l'altro, conosciuto come Tower of London, nella zona sud-ovest Una terza fortezza, nota come Montfichet's Castle venne costruita accanto al lato nord-ovest del Baynard's Castle intorno al 1070 e demolita nel XIII secolo.
