Visit to Wressle Castle

The Castle Studies Trust recently funded a project to survey the gardens of Wressle Castle. The findings of the report (available on the Trust’s website) has been turned into a 3 minute video on their You Tube channel. Some Medieval Section members visited the site last year and this is the link if you’d like to watch it:
