Welcome to Castle Facts
I have always been fascinated by Castles and fortifications. One of my earliest memories are being taken to Scarborough castle on holiday. I remember a trip to Wingfield Manor with a few of my friends when I was about 10, we thought we had walked to the ends of the earth, but it was only 5 miles away.
The data in this site was collated by Philip Davis from numerous sources given in the bibliographies. He has published this as the Gatehouse website and as freely downloadable databases. He continues to maintain and develop Gatehouse whilst doing his own independent studies on medieval fortifications which do eventually get published in Gatehouse. He has also provided me with a lot encouragement, support and feedback during the design of the site and contributed photographs. His help is greatly appreciated. As further versions of Philip's database are published, Castlefacts will be updated.
The site was been developed using a relational database (mysql) to store the information and Active Server Pages (asp) to retrieve the information. All the pages are written to be compliant to the XHTML 1.0 Strict standard. All formatting and layout uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). The search facility uses javascript. The News ticker and photo gallery are written in actionscript and will require Adobe Flash Player. Images are stored at 1200px x 900px resolution and will scale down to suit the appropriate screen resolution. I have tested the website on Internet Explorer 7, Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera and Safari. If you encounter a browser compatibility problem, please let me know.
This site is a long term project and will be developed further. My current focus is on expanding the range of photographs in the database, but future planned enhancements include:
- County based location maps
- Statistical Analysis of the sites
- Glossary of terms
- Download of location information into Google Earth
This is a new site and there will be a few bugs and glitches, if you find any problems please email me
I am keen to improve the site so any comments on how the site can be improved will be appreciated.
January 2012 - Websites Developments
Updated to the latest set of data from the Gatehouse I have managed to write a conversion routine, so the task is now automated, which means it will be a lot easier to keep this site in sync with Philips core data. In additional, I have been able to reproduce the links given to various online books and references, so hopefully the site has a much cleaner look.
I intend to re-write Castlefacts during the course of this year, to address some of the design limitations of the original

Apologies to everyone, it's been some time since I updated the site. I had some health issues that took some time to resolve, but I'm pleased to say I am recovered now.

The maps on the Castle details screen have been converted to use Bing Maps. Microsoft are taking Multimap off line in the near future.
The Location Maps have also been redone to work with Bing Maps. I have increased the number of categories of fortification types and sites that have multiple types are illustrated better.
Fixed defect on next/previous not working in the large image view.
