Monastery?
"The mid 16th century saw the castle receive another blow as Henry VIII commissioned that all Catholic monasteries were to be destroyed..." - how is this relevant to the castle? There's no suggestion that it had become a monastery! --rossb (talk) 18:47, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Dawson as a source
The use of works by Charles Dawson (Piltdown Man scandal et al) is questionable. It is widely known among Hastings' historians that Dawson's work on Hastings Castle was essentially plagiarism of William Herbert's work 'Hastings Castle and Rape." split across multiple volumes in 1824. - see Hastings local history wiki for some explanation and further links.
