Warwick Castle |
|
|
|
Anthony's school held a field trip to
Warwick Castle, so Michele and I tagged along. The origins of Warwick Castle can be traced back to
the Saxon fortification which Ethelfleda, daughter of Alfred the great used to defend against the
invading Danes. Dating back to 1068, under the command of William the Conqueror and home to
successive Earls of Warwick during the 14th Century. Today owned by the Tussaud's group is an
impressive site to see. |

Another view from inside the castle...seen here would have been the main
living quarters of the Earl of Warwick and his family before selling in 1978 to the Tussaud's group.
Today you can see fully restored show rooms taking you back in time. |

One of the rooms on display is the great hall which has on display numerous
armor suits dating back to the time of the knights. |

Another of the rooms on display was the dungeon...guess who got in trouble.
Spokey being in the same place where years before people were brought to
death...
