Farleigh Hungerford Castle is located in Somerset and was built by Sir Thomas Hungerford after he bought the estate of Farleigh in 1370. The early castle consisted of a rectangular bailey wall with four circular towers at the corners and a double towered gatehouse protecting the entrance on the south side. In the centre was a building that divided the central courtyard into two smaller areas to the north and south of the castle. Thomas' son, Sir Walter Hungerford improved the castle's defences from around 1425.
