Appleby Castle — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Caesar's Tower rose in Appleby-in-Westmorland about 1170, a square stone keep built to watch the Eden Valley and hold the Clifford line for nearly four centuries. It surrendered without a fight when William the Lion invaded in 1174, later resisted siege in 1648, and was remade by Anne Clifford into a home rather than a mere weapon. King James I stayed there in 1617, and the castle kept changing: rebuilt, widened, restored, and finally bought by Ferguson Industrial Holdings in 1973. Its walls have belonged to kings, clans, soldiers, owners and residents, but the tower still stands as the clearest marker of Appleby's patience.

The National Heritage List for England records Appleby Castle as a registered park or garden at Grade II*. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
