Mighty Chepstow Castle, earliest stone built castle in Britain. Built by William FitzOsbern in 1067, with construction taking several decades. The castle increased in size, with William Marshal carrying out works there in 1190s. Fell into disrepair in late 17thC #chepstowcastle #castle #normancastle

It's the oldest castle gates in Europe everybody! #ChepstowCastle #Thursgate
Understandably one of those old standbys that turns up every five minutes on socials but that not hold Mouse back mainly due to the amazing wicket gate. Mouse waffling though. Where did that come from?

The curious case of the clumsy castellan.
You can tell how often he lost his keys by the number of keyholes cut in the venerable single planked door. Marten's Tower #ChepstowCastle #AdoorableThursday

Mouse not just about churches, you know. She love a scamper around a castle too especially if it has C12 origins. Location of #MouseGoingUnderground and #SearchForTheChapel, Mouse visited #ChepstowCastle in July 2024 #HeidiAtChepstow #MouseInMonmouthshire

Mouse find castle chapels fascinating. Some are lost or hard to find (detective work required) but this is almost intact. As with #ChepstowCastle it is to the left of the gatehouse (as facing). It is close to east-west aligned. West elevation and entrance #InTheCastleChapel (1/6)

Romanesque doorway, bottom left, which shows the original floor level of the second stage. The building was much changed over 200 years as can be seen from the windows and masonry style #RomanesqueRiday

Marshal's Tower. Detail.
One of those castles that seems to spring from the living rock. Mouse still finds it hard to believe that this was designed and built 800 years ago. Someone stood where Mouse is now and planned the whole thing #ChepstowCastle
