Donnington Castle, near Newbury, Berkshire, c1955. Ruined medieval castle, founded by Sir Richard Abberbury the Elder in 1386. During the First English Civil War (1642-1646) the castle was held by the royalist Sir John Boys and withstood an 18-month siege; after the garrison eventually surrendered, Parliament voted to demolish the castle in 1646. Only the gatehouse survives.
