Investigations are taking place at the Castle into the cause of the blaze.

I'm going to guess it was a burning cannonball.

Somehow the movie THE WAR LORD with Charlton Heston comes to mind.

I don’t know why this building is referred to as “medieval” when it was built in 1896. Looks like it was a very attractive thatch roof that was lost, though.

The historic boathouse, which was destroyed in the blaze, dates back to 1896 when the 5th Earl, Frances Greville, had it built to house an electric boat which he powered by batteries charged from the electricity generated by the castle's mill.

1896 is medieval? Built in the style of a medieval boathouse, maybe. Been to Warwick castle, the trebuchet show is quite a sight.

Warwick Castle is a great place. Glad it was only the boat house.

It was probably going through a middle age crisis anyway.

the world's largest working siege machine destroyed a medieval boathouse by fire.

Hmmmm. Still works then.

Oh, no! I love the peacocks at Warwick Castle. The rest of it was rather grim, especially if you read about Warwick in the War of the Roses.

Technically that would be called a carcass.
