The male family line died out 1371, leaving the castle to Sir John's cousin, who became a nun. When she died, it was transferred to a College of Priests, but was attacked by rebels of the Peasants Revolt in 1381 before it could be transferred.

The castle is now a living piece of history, with substantial remains to visit, it truly is a little known castle with a big history.
