More about this scene
The mid 12th-century Great Hall of Robert le Bossu survives in Castle Yard; up to modern times it has been in use as an Assizes Court and Crown Court. In 1645 the castle was besieged by Prince Rupert and King Charles and captured, only to be retaken by Parliamentarians following the Royalist defeat at Naseby. The gateway has been ruined since 1832. Masked by the gate is the collegiate church of St Mary de Castro, beautiful outside, but with a dull interior.
