Mouse's top three #InterestingThingsAtGoodrich Number 1: The prevalence of the lavabo. The evidence would suggest every chamber had one. Contrary to our view of the medieval period, perhaps? Certainly mouse had never seen this in a castle before #HeidiAtGoodrich #MedievalLavabo
Mouse's top three #InterestingThingsAtGoodrich Number 2: The uniform architecture. The segmental pointed arch is the signature feature of the castle. Many are double chamfered. Some rough hewn, some beautifully carved but obviously someone was a big fan #HeidiAtGoodrich
Mouse's top three #InterestingThingsAtGoodrich Number 3: The Norman keep. Build of grey conglomerate and with pilaster strips, clasping buttresses, sawtooth moulding and Romanesque windows it's an amazing survivor #HeidiAtGoodrich #GoodrichKeep
As #FireplacesMeanFarewell what of #GoodrichCastle? Mouse loved it and is about to share her #InterestingThingsAtGoodrich. In the meantime she highly recommend a visit and being a fan of a pasty definitely recommends one of these! Well done @englishheritage.bsky.social (get posting) #HeidiAtGoodrich
