Description:An interior view of Tutbury Castle. On the left is the King's Lodging, in front of which are swing-boats, part of the entertainments for visitors to the castle. Passengers propelled the boat by pulling on a rope at each swing to get the boat to swing higher. The small wooden building to the right stands over the well. The Keep, also known as Julius's Tower or the Round Tower is a folly built in 1780, the original keep having been demolished during the Civil War. It stands on the Norman motte.
