RM2D1PFMH–A late 19th Century chart illustrating the progression of various field guns or field artillery pieces from the 16th to 19th Century. Originally the term referred to smaller guns that could accompany a field army on the march, that when in combat could be moved about the battlefield in response to changing circumstances (field artillery), as opposed to guns installed in a fort (garrison artillery or coastal artillery), or to siege cannons and mortars which are too large to be moved quickly, and would be used only in a prolonged siege.
RMF1M0JH–A 19th Century illustration of Tilbury Fort in Essex, also known historically as the Thermitage Bulwark and the West Tilbury Blockhouse, is an artillery fort covering the River Thames from its north bank. In the 18th century it began to be used a transit depot and for storing gunpowder. A new artillery battery was added in the south-east corner during the Napoleonic Wars. It was redeveloped to hold heavy artillery after 1868, providing a second-line of defence along the river, but further changes in technology meant that it had become obsolete by the end of the century.
RMF23FKY–The Alcázar of Segovia (Segovia Castle) is located in the old city of Segovia, Spain. Rising out on a rocky crag above the confluence of the rivers Eresma and Clamores and originally built as a fortress, it has served as a royal palace, a state prison, a Royal Artillery College and a military academy.

Together with two supporting blockhouses, it defended the eastern side of the River Hull, and was constructed by King Henry VIII to protect against attack from France as part of his Device programme in 1542. During the 16th and 17th centuries, the defences were used to imprison Catholic recusants, who were often held in harsh conditions. The castle and blockhouses saw service during the sieges of the English Civil War in the 1640s, and remained in used during the interregnum.

The earliest version of the fort, comprising a small blockhouse with artillery covering the river, was constructed by King Henry VIII to protect London against attack from France as part of his Device programme.

RMPB4CGD–In 1533 Henry broke with Pope Paul III to annul the long-standing marriage to his wife, Catherine of Aragon, and remarry. Catherine was the aunt of Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor, and Charles took the annulment as a personal insult which resulted in France and the Empire declaring an alliance against Henry in 1538. So Sandown Castle, Kent, England, was built between 1539/40 to protect the Downs in east Kent. It had three tiers of artillery with the embrasures in the walls widely splayed to provide the maximum possible space for the guns to operate.
