The buildings visible today (previous wooden building) were built in the 11th and 12th centuries. Built by Normans and correspond to a typical Norman motte. Over the centuries, their owners enlarged them several times and added residential buildings.
After Windsor Castle, the Tamworth Motte is the second largest in England and one of the best preserved.
It is worth mentioning that William Turner painted a painting "Tamworth Castle" of the castle.

Tamworth Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

The building was built in 1701 to a design by William Gilkes and financed by Thomay Guy. The arcades on the ground floor were intended for holding markets and the first floor is supported by 18 Doric columns.
A sign was placed at the front reading “This hall was built at the expense of Thos. Guy Esq. “Anno MDCCI built” (1701).
