Regarded as one of the finest surviving example of a semi-royal palace of the later middle ages and significant for its scale, form and quality of workmanship, it is distinguished by its Norman keep and fine Tudor gardens. Charles Henry Woolcott (1821 - 1905) was employed by the Municipal Corporation of Sydney from 1843 and succeeded John Rae as town clerk until 1887. Shortly before his death, he donated his collection of 25 paintings, hoping they would form the nucleus of a municipal art gallery.Author/creatorCharles Henry Woolcott (artist)Special citationKenilworth Castle by Charles Woolcott, 1876.
