An 1869 Victorian drawing of Constable's Gate of Dover Castle, Kent, UK.
Constable's Tower was built by John de Fiennes under William the Conqueror and for this reason was once known as Fiennes' Tower.
Rebuilt after 1216 Siege of Dover by Hubert de Burgh under Henry III.
This illustration, possibly by S or G Winebridge (indistinct lettering), was printed by W. W. Sprague and Co. Ltd. of London.
Constable's Gateway was modernized in 1882 and is now the living quarters of the Deputy Constable of Dover Castle.
1899 source: "For a long time the porter's lodge contained a sword, an old key, and a horn, which were described as belonging to the days of Julius Caesar."
Dover's Norman Castle is an English Heritage site, Grade I Listed Building, and Scheduled Ancient Monument.
