Waterways0 viewsThere were a couple lakes/ponds on different levels that were joined by this bit of a waterway.

Water0 viewsOriginally there were 5 medieval fish ponds. Later this lake was built

Wall hanging1 viewsThis hanging was in the Banqueting hall. It strikes me as not very European, but I could be wrong about that.
|
|
Tudor house1 viewsThis is a house that sits just outside of the castle. It was pretty. I seem to remember reading that it was Georgian.

The first floor (not the ground floor)1 views

|
The dormitory3 viewsOn the top floor was what was thought to be the communal sleeping area. They had beds set up in a couple of the alcoves to show what it might have been like. The other theory was that this was not actually a floor, but that the roof sat in this area with the bottom edge of the roof being at the level of the floor. There are a couple drain holes through the walls at floor level.
