The Warder's Lodge (Reception) - The ground floor room of the Tudor Warder's Lodge, built by Sir Humphrey Ferrers in the second half of the 16th century, now used as the visitor reception. Tamworth Castle has had many visitors over the years, from kings of England (Henry I, Henry II - with Thomas a Becket, Henry III, Edward II and James I), and in 1828 Sir Walter Scott visited before writing his poem Marmion, in which Tamworth Castle is mentioned.
