Thank you Bart for sending us this
Bart is sailing around the UK and made a stop at this historic site. Any guesses where he’s come ashore?
Here are the clues:
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine……..
This historic building was started by William le Gros, Earl of Albermarle, in c1135.
In 1154 a Royal Henry took it over.
It has been used as a prison and barracks in the 1600’s
It was almost completely destroyed in 1914 by shelling from a German fleet.
