One of of the good days we went to Corfe castle which is a ruins near Weymouth. It was destroyed by soldiers during the Civil war in 1646 by Parliamentarians and it must have taken a good deal of fire to bring it down - the walls were incredibly thick. But the original fortification has been there since roughly 1066.
The first time the Parliamentarians tried to take it, the day of the house held them off with a small number of men. They left. The second time they managed to get them out but respected her so much they gave her the keys to the castle on the way out. (Though granted they were pretty useless at this point as it was missing most of its walls.)
