Henry de Audley, who was born in 1175, had two castles and an Abbey built during his life. Heleigh Castle was built near Madeley, Staffordshire on the hill pictured below. It was completed in 1233 and stood until the end of the British Civil War. It was held for King Charles I during the War,but was almost completely destroyed by Cromwell supporters in the 1650s.
The remains of the Red Castle (below) in Shropshire draw tourists. The castle was completed in 1227.
