According to Oxford Daily Info, Cauldwell's Castle was built by a man who so feared attack by undergraduates that he lived in a fortified residence. The only injury to take place affected a student, who was shot from an upstairs window while trying to remove one of the cannons.

Originally known as North Hinksey House, this building was erected on Folly Bridge Island in 1849 for Joseph Caudwell, an eccentric Oxford accountant, who perhaps planned it as a folly to match the existing name of the bridge. Caudwell’s Castle soon attracted unwanted attention from high-spirited undergraduates, one of whom was shot and seriously hurt by Caudwell in 1851 while trying to drag one of the cannons that sat on the forecourt into the river.
