We took a fun Sunday afternoon drive to Castle Rising Castle.
One of the largest, best preserved and most lavishly decorated keeps in England, surrounded by 20 acres of mighty earthworks.
Begun in 1138 by William d'Albini for his new wife, the widow of Henry I, in the 14th century it became the luxurious exile-place of Queen Isabella, widow (and alleged murderess) of Edward II.
The basement…
Run Madeline Run!
It really was that green!
The Entry…
There is the remains of a small church on the grounds. You can just about see where the cross was in the stone work. The church predated the castle. It is extra old.
Can you imagine living there?
