Bridgnorth Castle in Shropshire was a Royalist garrison that Parliament reduced in 1646. The Parliamentary bombardment caused the castle tower to lean — it still stands at a more dramatic angle than the Tower of Pisa. The town of Bridgnorth, divided between high town (castle) and low town, was heavily damaged in the siege. The slighted castle tower remains one of the most striking Civil War monuments in the Midlands.
