ok Part two..
I hope no gets upset about the graves that are behind the altar shots but there important to the story and the book..
the Castle itself lays below the chapel, thur a graveyard for the chapel,there are some graves above at the church , and i will upload that.
But , 1st let talk about Oliver Cromwell, as told by my hubby, his version.
He was a god-ly man, a pariment (typo) member,and who stood up for the people and they had rights too, who was against king Charles the 1st who thought he was God, and it was his god given right to do what ever he wanted to do.. so cromwell stated blowing up castles to piss off the king and for other reasons , he was instructed NOT TO TOUCH the chapel..becuz of its 'history and Ties'
the house you see is built after the blow up but its over the original kitchens and dugeon.We could nt see this as its inside the house. This house is available to rent for whatever reason like wedding or a stay..its like $1800 for the weekend, sleeps-10 i think.
ok there was some templar grave makers in the chapel but they were dark.
Are ya bored yet. keep a look out for my next exciting travals with becky and hubby to prestwick.. tomo maybe?
cheers
