There are some possibly-heavy showers about: a visit to Stokesay Castle will be pleasant if it stays dry, and will provide welcome shelter if it rains (it didn’t!). The nearby church is worth a visit too.

Entrance to the moat path

Seen from the moat

Gatehouse

Then and now

In the great hall

A tiled floor

Not so cosy now

Look up!

Look out!

Buttery

A grand fireplace...

... and detail

Now we're on the roof

Rurality - the Onny valley

Back to the gatehouse

In the church

Squire's pew

Bell ropes

Box pews
