A Castle Photo Essay

On the following pages we present a series of photographs by archaeologist Daniel Mersey of Cambridgeshire, a contributor to the Castles of Wales web site. There are three pages containing six photos each, accompanied by short descriptions and links to the castle's main page at the site. All photographs are copyright © by Daniel Mersey. Enjoy!

Acton Burnell Castle, 1995: a view of the exterior (left). Note the large number of windows (thereby making the site a castle of comfort, not war). Also note the Victorian gateway. Left: Looking into the stairwells (at corners) and private chambers, both built into the walls.

Clun Castle, 1995: view towards the keep from the main bailey (left), and view into the upper levels of the keep (right).

Stokesay Castle, 1995: viewed from the rear (left), and a view from the courtyard (right). Notice the entrance to the tower is by a first floor door only.
