Barnard Castle



Barnard Castle, where Richard III once lived, built in 1125 over the site of a Roman fort. Travelling to York, after, and planning to get to the Richard III museum, rereading Josephine Tey’s wonderful debunking of the Richard myth, the king deformed of body and of mind, A Daughter of Time.
