It's been a year or two since I used to do 'how to build a castle' tours around the pile I work in so I'd forgotten a lot of the details. I was cheered today to remind my self that in 1278 and under the orders of Edward 1st [one of our scarier monarchs] the steward of Abergavenny sent 19 carpenters and 28 men with shovels to build the castle in Builth. Nary a mention of a stone mason, but good solid timber. Now I want to write a book about it, of course, but am talking myself out of it.
