This afternoon we toured Lewes castle. In quintessential Daniel fashion, we climbed to the highest point first and then slowly worked our way back down.
Here are two views of Lewes and the surrounding area taken from the castle’s western tower.
The castle's Barbican House:

Portions of the castle and the barbican date from c1100. It's first owner, William de Warrenne, was the Bill Gates of his time -- in other words, enormously wealthy and influential.

Laurel looking like a disheveled American tourist:
As Winnie the Pooh would say, it was a blustery, blustery day – one of the windiest I’ve experienced here so far.

Daniel may have better photos or wish to write more, but he is asleep. In the meantime, here is what the castle looks like from Paddock lane near my house.
More at some point about a Pre-Raphaelite Church and the Farmers Markets.
