About this Item

Copper plate print published 1772. The engraving measures 10.5cm x 15.25cm (not including plate mark) - over all with text 23cm x 33cm. Engraved by B. Godfrey. for Grose's Antiquities of England and Wales from a view drawn by Grose in 1761. Notes: In 1792 the Basingstoke Canal was built through the southern corner of the bailey. Odiham Castle is open to the public. The only visible remains are part of the octagonal keep and outlying earthworks. In September 2007 Hampshire County Council undertook a restoration of the shell keep under guidance from English Heritage. The most southerly corner of the moat survives in the form of a small overgrown pond on the opposite side of the canal from the rest of the castle. Two series of archaeological excavations have been carried out at the castle, one in 1953 reported in a local newspaper, and the other between 1981?1985, carried out by Hampshire County Council Museum Services.
