Norman history abounds at La Ducrie. The rear elevation points almost due north. It is powerful, menacing and threatening, designed to dissuade attack from all but the most foolhardy. Arrowslits still exist in the sides of the main tower. Almost Scottish in its architectural feel, La Ducrie confirms that defensive architecture is amost universal.
