Construction of Denbigh Castle and the town walls began in 1282 by Henry de Lacy, one of Edward I's chief commanders. 

Having endured wars and rebellions over the centuries, Denbigh was seized by pro-Royalist soldiers in 1659 during the First English Civil War. The castle and town walls were ordered to be slighted by General George Monk, with various parts of the walls and towers being demolished. 

Denbigh was renamed by Edward I during his Conquests of Wales from its original Welsh name 'Dinbych' - which translates to "Little Fortress" in reference to the castle.
