There was a heavy-handed restoration

  We humans are able to speak and seek medical attention when we develop a cold or suffer a debilitating injury.  Pets, on the other hand, cannot do so.  Just because your  boots doesnt outright tell you that she needs to go the vet, it doesnt mean that a visit isnt in order.If you suspect that your  boots is suffering from a medical problem, whether it be an injury or an illness, you will want to seek professional help right away.  Schedule a visit with your veterinarian.  The sooner you do so, the quicker you can understand what is bothering your  boots.  If you must make your  bootss appointment an emergency appointment, especially if he or she seems to be suffering.

  Portchester is thus an early example of a castle employing flanking towers, perhaps inspired by the Roman bastions.  The inner curtain is overshadowed by the lofty square keep, which has displaced some of the Roman wall at the northwest corner of the castle.  It is the product of two phases, as shown by the pilaster buttresses which disappear two-thirds of the way up;  Evidently, Henry I's keep comprised only two stories plus roof space.  Its heightening to four stories is ascribed to the Manduits, who held the castle prior to Henry II's seizure.  The keep is divided by a cross wall and entered via a fore building, which is another addition of the second phase.  Originally, the entrance was at first floor level, the ground floor doorway being a later insertion.

  From 1818 there was a heavy-handed restoration in neo-Norman style under the architect John Paterson, whose uninspired work has been justly criticized.  The end result is a castle, which is a mishmash of original and sham features, best seen from a distance.  Nevertheless, a considerable amount of medieval masonry has survived and the contrast between the old and the new is clearly apparent.The castle is situated on a rise overlooking the Stockley Beck.  It is a large, irregular enclosure surrounded by a strong curtain.  The curtain looks complete, but some portions have been rebuilt.  Paterson erected the present round-towered gatehouse on the site of the original.  Most of the mural towers are authentic and have suffered comparatively little interference.
