The war memorial, erected in 1921, is at the north end of the Market Place is in granite and stands in a small cobbled area. It consists of a pillar with an octagonal foot, and a ball finial surmounted by a wheel-head cross. The pillar is on a square plinth on an octagonal step. On the plinth is a timber plaque with a coat of arms, a bronze plaque with an inscription, and further plaques recording the names of those lost in the World Wars and another conflict.
The Grade I Listed Gwydir Castle near to Llanrwst, County Conwy, in North Wales.
Although called a castle, it is an example of a Tudor architecture courtyard house or fortified manor house, rather than a traditional castle. There has been a fortification of some sort on the site since AD 600, and in the Middle Ages many skirmishes were fought in this area between the various rival Welsh princes and their forces, the most significant being in 610 and 954.
By the 14th century some form of manorial house had evolved, and the first recorded owner was Howell ap Coetmor, who fought in the Hundred Years' War and was a commander of longbowmen under Edward, the Black Prince at the Battle of Poitiers in 1356.
Gwydir became the ancestral home of the powerful Wynn family, descended from the Kings of Gwynedd, and one of the most significant families of north Wales during the Tudor and Stuart periods. Following the Wars of the Roses the castle was rebuilt by Meredith ap Ieuan ap Robert, the founder of the Wynn dynasty.
During the 16th and 17th centuries the Gwydir Estate under the Wynn family dominated north Wales, and at the centre of this huge Estate, Gwydir itself stood in a deer park of some 36,000 acres. In 1678 it passed by marriage to the Barons Willoughby de Eresby, based in Lincolnshire.
The 10-acre garden contains some ancient cedars — one of which was planted in 1625 to commemorate the wedding of King Charles I to Queen Henrietta Maria. One yew tree, known as the "Lovers Tree" or "Giant Yew", is estimated to be between 600 and 1000 years old, and therefore pre-dates the castle itself.
The Old Dutch garden contains ancient yew topiary and an octagonal fountain. The Royal and Statesman's gardens contain Welsh Oaks planted during the royal visit of 1899, and in 1911. An Elizabethan causeway called the Chinese Walk runs across the fields to the River Conwy, where the remains of the Gwydir Quay can be seen.

The Grade I Listed remains of Narberth Castle, a Norman fortress in Narberth, a town in Pembrokeshire, South Wales.
A chronicle in the Cotton library mentions that, in 1116, Gruffydd ap Rhys attacked and destroyed the castle of Arberth; this however probably refers to the nearby Sentence Castle, the stone castle at Narberth not having been built until over 100 years later.
The current ruins are undoubtedly Norman and seem to date from the 13th century, having been built by Andrew Perrot. However, the castle is mentioned in the third branch of the Mabinogi as the place where Rhiannon was imprisoned and forced to carry travellers through the gates as penance for killing her son. Although there is some controversy over the actual location of the castle in the Mabinogi (there are at least two other earthworks nearby that are contenders, but neither are in good defensive positions compared to the site of this one), the Normans often built castles on top of earlier defensive structures and it is plausible that the original was obliterated.
The castle never changed hands throughout the Glyndŵr Rising in 1400–1415 and was slighted after being taken by Oliver Cromwell in the English Civil War. Excavations have found more than 20 graves on the north side dating from the 12th century to the 13th, hinting that the area may have once been the site of a church.
In the early part of the 20th century, the annual town fair held a procession which ended in the castle, with dancing and music. In 2005, the castle was opened again to the public after being taken over by the council and made safe.
The castle has provided a good deal of building material for the surrounding houses and the remains are mostly single and double storey walls, with the barrel-vaulted kitchen cellars intact. No upper storey rooms are intact. There is an early engraving visible on an information board at Narberth railway station (and possible elsewhere in the town) which shows now-vanished tall chimneys of a Flemish style that can still be seen at the well-preserved Manorbier Castle.

The next few weeks are going to be uber-busy with trips for open days at the Universities my youngest, Phoebe, wants to go to. At last she has made her choice of the course she will be studying, Veterinary Medicine or Vet-Med. She will be completing the M.S.A.A exam to allow aplication to Cambridge but our first visit was to Glasgow University, a great day. In a couple of weeks time a trip to York, Bristol and Cambridge, then during the summer break The Royal London School of Veterniary Medicine, Liverpool, Edinburgh and Nottigham. Competition is tough but I strongly believe with Phoebes academic attainments and experiences with animal management she will be well placed to move forward as a Vet, can't wait as I will be accompanying her with all her visits. But we have already learnt a lesson, don't try and do a University visit in one day, up at 01.30am in the morning to fly up to Glasgow and returned at 02.00am this morning from Gatwick.......goodnight!

A few weeks ago I visited Malmesbury and it's a delightful place crammed with plenty of old buildings, but surprisingly few tourists.
Its centerpiece is the old abbey, which escaped total destruction at the hands of King Henry VIII and became a regular church.

Built in 1598 and originally a house, and later a public house, it was extended in 1898. It is in sandstone with a stone-slate roof, and consists of a hall and cross-wings, all in one bay. There are two storeys and attics. The main windows are mullioned and transoms, and the attic windows are mullioned with plaques above. On the front is a two-storey porch with a Tudor arched doorway. At the rear is a later extension.
Another shot from Jemaa el-Fna, the main square in the old city of Marrakech.
"During the day it is predominantly occupied by orange juice stalls, water sellers with traditional leather water-bags and brass cups, youths with chained Barbary apes and snake charmers despite the protected status of these species under Moroccan law.
As the day progresses, the entertainment on offer changes: the snake charmers depart, and late in the day the square becomes more crowded, with Chleuh dancing-boys (it would be against custom for girls to provide such entertainment), story-tellers (telling their tales in Berber or Arabic, to an audience of locals), magicians, and peddlers of traditional medicines. As darkness falls, the square fills with dozens of food-stalls as the number of people on the square peaks."

Belton House a Grade I listed country house in Belton near Grantham, Lincolnshire.
The mansion is surrounded by formal gardens and a series of avenues leading to follies within a larger wooded park. Belton has been described as a compilation of all that is finest of Carolean architecture, the only truly vernacular style of architecture that England had produced since the Tudor period.
The house has also been described as the most complete example of a typical English country house; the claim has even been made that Belton's principal facade was the inspiration for the modern British motorway signs which give directions to stately homes.
For three hundred years, Belton House was the seat of the Brownlow and Cust family, who had first acquired land in the area in the late 16th century. Between 1685 and 1688 Sir John Brownlow and his wife had the present mansion built. Despite great wealth they chose to build a modest country house rather than a grand contemporary Baroque palace.
The contemporary, if provincial, Carolean style was the selected choice of design. However, the new house was fitted with the latest innovations such as sash windows for the principal rooms, and more importantly separate areas for the staff. As the Brownlows rose from baronets to barons upward to earls, successive generations made changes to the interior of the house which reflected their changing social position and tastes.
Following World War I (a period when the Machine Gun Corps was based in the park), the Brownlows, like many of their peers, were faced with mounting financial problems. In 1984 they gave the house away complete with most of its contents. The recipients of their gift, the National Trust, today fully open Belton to the public.
