What is recorded here

Penrice Castle, Gower, Sth. Wales is a castle, fort or tower in Swansea, Wales. Perhaps its stones still hold the heat of arguments about borders, loyalty and the price of watching the sea. Maybe the tower was built to answer a threat nobody wrote down, and it is still answering.

Penrice Castle was built by the De Prendergast family in the 13th century and later held by the Earls of Plymouth. It is important as a well-preserved example of a medieval Welsh castle and as a historic family seat with connections to significant events in Welsh and English history.
