Notes about this historic site
1 At the centre of the E side of Maxstoke Castle is a three storey projecting gatehouse.
2 The gatehouse projects about 13.7m flanked by semi-octagonal turrets that rise well above the main battlements of the gatehouse. The gateways are segmental-pointed arches. The space between the two is vaulted in two bays. The pair of great doors in the outer archway is ancient.
