At the outbreak of the Civil War in 1642, the town of Dover sided with Parliament, while the castle was garrisoned by Royalists. On the 20th of August that year, a party of townspeople led by a merchant, variously referred to as Drake, Dawes or Daux, surprised the tiny garrison of 20 and captured the castle, with hardly a shot fired. The Castle remained in Parliament?s hands until the restoration.
The views are as follows: 1. The Old Entrance of Dover Castle. 2. Ancient Gateway and Guard Room. 3. Great Hall, Governor?s Apartment. 4. [Inner Walls] Drake and his Companions Surprising the Garrison on the Night of the 1st of August 1642. 5. Marshall Tower - Troops from Canterbury. 6. Old Road - Siege by the Royalists. 7. [North East Walls] North East Side. Albrincis, or Averanches Tower. 8. From the Ramparts - Retreat of the Royalists.
