Project's Length: 36 Months ( 2017- 2019 )

Status: Completed.

Perched on a sandstone promontory the Nottingham Castle has a rich history profoundly contributing to Nottingham’s past and at times to the narrative of the country.  The research aim was to initiate a resource charting the building evolution using archival material, records and surveys with a current, accurate elevation digital model.  The Nottingham Castle Trust as managers of the asset along with the owner Nottingham City Council collaborated to develop the research-led digital open resource for use in interpretation and education.  The outcome supports the future management of the asset through the novel methodology for structuring information.  Digital modelling and virtual heritage platforms engage with the local community and user groups providing resilience as the building evolves without loosing sight of the significance and social value.
