In depth
The fuller history
Tinboeth Castle is said to have been constructed by Roger Mortimer and first enters the historical record in 1282, a date that it is assumed fairly accurate for its construction. Mortimer also owned another castle, Cymaron, which records show was likely abandoned at the time of Tinboeth's construction. Following Mortimer's death, the ownership of the castle was transferred to the Crown. With Wales becoming largely peaceful, a castle was of little need and it subsequently fell into a state of ruin.
