From its elevated position, it offers views across London, with features in seven different counties visible on a clear day. It was built to commemorate Commodore Sir William James who, in April 1755, attacked and destroyed the island fortress of Suvarnadurg (this translated in English means Severndroog) of the Maratha Empire on the western coast of India. James died in 1783 and the castle was built as a memorial to him by his widow, Lady James of Eltham. . It was used as a museum, to house some of the mementoes of his career. Following Lady James' death in 1798, the building passed through the hands of various landowners, including John Blades, a former Sheriff of London, a Mr Barlow (ship owner) who built nearby Castle Wood House, and Thomas Jackson (a railway and docks contractor of Eltham Park). The area is also surrounded by woods, these areas are completely dark with no lighting, and we will also be investigating these areas to see what souls still reside.
