Farleigh Hungerford Castle - Barth

 Farleigh Hungerford Castle 

Date:  March 2022

Location:  Barth

Public or Abandoned:  Public

Demolished:   No


This was our second stop of the day and I have to say I was really impressed with the crypt and church more than the castle as I was not expecting it.
The site was nice and quite to the time we visited it and it is still winter and it was also raining a bit - we spent most of are time in the church/chapel because we were amazed at how it was left.

so it said  a medieval castle  , and  castle was built in two phases:the inner court was constructed between 1377 and 1383 , Underneath the chapel is a burial vault which holds the best collection of human-shaped lead coffins in Britain
