HBM - The great hall of Abergavenny Castle

The last days of our South Wales week brought us to the small town of Abergaveny and its town centre castle. Here we are in the ruins of the great hall where many a banquet may have taken place.
The castle dates from 1087 and was the site of a massacre of Welsh noblemen in 1175. Being attacked at least twice during the 15th & 16th centuries it was said that it was stained with the infamy of treachery more than any other castle in Wales. It lay in ruins by the late 18th century but its ‘picturesque’ views attracted many sightseers. PiP
