Farewell #GoodrichCastle with your silver grey keep and sturdy towers, your glowing red sandstone and pointed arches. Mouse miss you even now #HeidiAtGoodrich

As #FireplacesMeanFarewell what of #GoodrichCastle? Mouse loved it and is about to share her #InterestingThingsAtGoodrich. In the meantime she highly recommend a visit and being a fan of a pasty definitely recommends one of these! Well done @englishheritage.bsky.social (get posting) #HeidiAtGoodrich

A little something for #RomanesqueRiday. Perfect 2-light Norman Romanesque window with circular headed lights and central cylindrical pier set in a circular headed 'frame'. An archetype #HeidiAtGoodrich #GoodrichCastle #GoodrichKeep

More of the south-west tower at #GoodrichCastle. Mouse suspects this is a lavabo. A medieval stone wash basin set into the wall. But Mouse never seen one in a castle chamber before. Any other examples? @CastleHunter perchance? #MedievalLavabo #GoodrichTowers #HeidiAtGoodrich

More of the south-west tower at #GoodrichCastle. But wait. What is that tell-tale shape to the right of the upper floor window? A piscina? But in a chamber? #GoodrichTowers #HeidiAtGoodrich

This space has been identified as the 'Great Hall' of #GoodrichCastle with the remains of the south-west tower far end. A C14 addition or at least rebuilding. The Great Chamber is behind us #HeidiAtGoodrich #GoodrichGreatHall Part I of IV. The grey skies of summer

Chamfered segmental pointed arches leading to a place for a nice sit down and a little quiet contemplation with one of the best views you could find. Although apparently later, the arches match those of the C13 construction #GarderobeTuesday from #GoodrichCastle #HeidiAtGoodrich

In a moment of madness Mouse introduce #GarderobeTuesday. The garderobe through these openings in the curtain wall had their own long vanished tower. C15 apparently, which is a long wait for a wee bearing in mind #GoodrichCastle was started C12. The relief! Kept the gong farmer busy #HeidiAtGoodrich

Mouse eye view from the keep at #GoodrichCastle. One word; windy. Very windy. Three words then. And that's Mouse's last offer #HeidiAtGoodrich

A little clue to the date at which the Norman door was blocked; remnants of a 2-light square (headed) window with pointed trefoil lights. Portals at this height tend not to suffer from a #NickedNook

Dated to late C12 (after the appearance of Early English) the keep of #GoodrichCastle remained solidly Norman Romanesque. Strip pilasters (as clasping pilasters at corners) and circular-headed openings #TowerTuesday #HeidiAtGoodrich #GoodrichKeep: A thread part III of XI

The keep of #GoodrichCastle (centre) is grey and contrasts strongly with the red sandstone of the other structures (except it would appear in this light) #TowerTuesday #HeidiAtGoodrich #GoodrichKeep: A thread part II of XI

The oldest existing part of #GoodrichCastle. The keep, flanked by south-west and south-east towers, now largely ruinous. Three stage and basement with a single space on each floor #TowerTuesday #HeidiAtGoodrich #GoodrichKeep: A thread part I of XI
