The Great Hall in Winchester is the only surviving building from the medieval Winchester Castle.
With its peculiar design and historical significance, it stands as one of the most intriguing architectural gems in England.
The C15th (and later) quadrangle surrounds a remarkable Transitional Romanesque church of the C12th and C13th.
The church reads like an archaeological record - full of layers of history.
The castle has been owned by the Carew family for over 900 years and originates in the C11th with later Elizabethan editions. There is evidence of an iron age defensive site before that.
Pembroke, Pembrokeshire, Wales is anchored by the castle and parish church opposite. King Henry VII was born here at the castle.
Surely one of the marvels of the late medieval world? The Great Screen was completed in 1476 and forms the backdrop (reredos) to the altar.
We're inside a medieval building with panelled walls - the scene is part way through the installation of a traditional ceiling with decorative ribwork and motifs.
