Highcliffe Castle (6) - 30 November 2014

Highcliffe Castle near Christchurch in Dorset is a surprise in many ways. Built as recently as 1831-6, it was damage by fires in 1967 and 1968 and declined to become a ruin for many years before a restoration which started in 1994 and was completed in 2008. The original construction used stone from several sources.

The Jesse Window in the Great Hall was created around panels from the parish church of St Vigor at Rouen dating from 1547.

Its modern uses do not greatly appeal to me but are probably a necessary concession to its continued existence. Today I had to work around a craft fair attended by quite a number of people.
