Tamworth Castle

Tamworth, Staffordshire

A Norman castle with a Black Lady and a White Lady.

Tamworth Castle stands on a mound in the town centre and was once home to the powerful Marmion family. Legend says a Black Lady, the ghost of a nun named Editha, haunts the castle, after a Norman lord drove her nuns out of their abbey.
