Aww Dubs you lucky people. I wish I could come over and meet you all. Well maybe soon. :-4 Thanks for the pics Dubs - its unbelievable what can come of this wonderful place. It brings tears too my eyes to think of the wonderful times that have come out of the FG friendships.

And, I agree, Pinky absolutely stunning - even the rain could not hide that fact.

One of the bedrooms, and some impressive wall panelling, featuring Tamworths Coat of Arms.

I think that's one of the nicest photos I've seen of you, Pink.

How old is the castle?? Do you know who has lived there? You know I'm a nut for castles.

dubs........Is it safe to venture out in Tamworth again? :-3

Actually, seeing the Staffordshire and Warwickshire signs reminded me that the garden in my last house was exactly bisected by the county border. The house and first half of the garden were in Warwickshire and the bottom half of the garden was in Staffordshire

Gosh, I love castles. But that is not how I imagined a castle bedroom to look. Seen too many movies I guess. :wah:

We don't have many castles here but there's always the Winchester House. Swear I'm gonna go one day and see if I see any ghosts or get lost inside!

Pinky you look totally smashing....:-6

I love the first photo. It looks so approachable... almost cozy. Castles from a distance are usually colder looking.

It's Norman with bits of pre-civil-war extension. The initial central section was built by Robert le Despenser - William the Conqueror's Steward and all-round enforcer - by 1080 and then passed to William's half-brother Robert, Count of Mortain. What people get shown around is, some of it, built 200 years later, and the Great Hall dates from around 1450. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamworth_Castle has a couple of paragraphs on who lived there - the family fought for Richard III at Bosworth Field, which was a mistake. Frevilles, Ferrers and Harcourts, all intermarried.

Pinky, you look wonderful.
