<p>We visited Kenilworth Castle on one of the hottest days of the year so far. This view of the Gatehouse caught my eye.</p>

<p>Today we met up with Cat’s friends from uni and her children at Kenilworth Castle, followed by a pub lunch. I enjoyed my Sunday roast, followed up with unnecessary icecream, and we seemed to spend a positive lifetime in the place. Given how filling lunch was, Juliana and I had cheese on toast as an evening meal.</p>

<p>Leaping forward several hundred years as the castle was purchased in 1937 by Sir John Davenport Siddeley, owner of Siddeley-Deasy, a manufacturer of fine motor cars at the top end of the market. Armstrong Siddeley was formed in 1919 following its purchase by Armstrong Whitworth and production was devoted to aircraft engines both before and during WWII. Sir John placed the castle in the care of the nation and part of the first floor of the gatehouse is devoted to a display of the history of Siddeley's aircraft and automobiles. Their bonnet mascot was a sphinx, which was used from 1912 until 1960, undergoing numerous design changes.</p>

<p>One side of the entrance to Leicester's Gatehouse. On at least two previous visits (the entrance being on the other side of the site) we have arrived at the gatehouse more or less just in time for its closing, so we haven't made it upsrairs for several years. Rather suprisingly, they have even installed a lift.</p>

<p>This is Leicester's Gatehouse, one of very few buildings to have survived the Civil War. After this, the estate was divided up between a group of Parliamentarians and after the Restoration, it was granted to the Hyde family, Earls of Rochester and Clarendon. The castle remained in the family's possession until 1937 when it was purchased by Sir John Davenport Siddeley who placed it in the care of the nation. Part of the first floor of the gatehouse is devoted to a display of the history of Siddeley's aircraft and automobiles.</p>
