Lancaster Castle

A new visitor experience

A long-term programme of works at Lancaster Castle as part of a largescale transformation of the former prison into a visitor attraction. Excavations led by our Archaeology team began in 2017, which revealed evidence from the Roman period to the present-day. The team have more recently conducted historic building recordings on the Keep, Well Tower and Witches Cell, an excavation on the Chapel Yard and a watching brief on the execution pit.
