<p>Commentary.<br /> <br /> <br /> Warwick Castle is a very large, impressive, archetypal English Castle.<br /> It was founded in 1068 by William the Conqueror.<br /> As was often the case the original castle was a wooden construction on a motte or mound.<br /> A stone version followed in the 12th. century.<br /> Most of the present site is post-medieval but is no less impressive for that.<br /> Caesar’s Tower, north-east, and Guy’s Tower, north-west, were added in the mid-14th. century.<br /> Under the Kingship of Richard 111 two gun towers, “Bear” and “Clarence,” were added by the late 15th. century.<br /> In the 16th. century the castle became somewhat neglected. <br /> However, as with many castles by the 17th. century, their role as effective military defences had declined and many, including Warwick, were re-designed and renovated to become grand stately homes for wealthy or entitled owners.<br /> In 1604 King James 1 granted the ruinous Warwick Castle to Sir Fulke Greville.<br /> After being ennobled as Baron Brooke in 1621 he spent £20,000, equivalent to c.£5,000,000 in 2026, to renovate the whole site.<br /> The 2nd. Baron Brooke, Robert Greville, enhanced the defensive specifications in 1642 in preparation for potential attack during the First English Civil War.<br /> Walls were raised, artillery mounds created and cannons added.<br /> Attacks by the Royalists were feeble and failed miserably.<br /> Several times, Royalists were imprisoned in the dungeons.<br /> In the 18th. century even the great landscaper Lancelot “Capability” Brown was commissioned to give the castle a more natural, countrified appearance with trees, shrubs, lawns and sweeping, vegetated banks below the walls.<br /> In the 21st. century Warwick Castle has become a major tourist attraction.<br /> Visitors come from all over the world.<br /> Tens of thousands of students and schoolchildren visit every year as part of their education.<br /> It is now protected as a “scheduled monument” and is rightly a Grade 1 Listed Building.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/26816223@N07/">CityOfDave</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/26816223@N07/55293673993/" title="Pink Sunset"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55293673993_4206ccf651_m.jpg" width="240" height="135" alt="Pink Sunset" /></a></p> <p>Memorial Day 2026 ended with colors in the sky.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/144291588@N06/">Scotland by NJC.</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/144291588@N06/55292097373/" title="The very popular and impressive Warwick Castle, Warwickshire, England."><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55292097373_4703df9422_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="The very popular and impressive Warwick Castle, Warwickshire, England." /></a></p> <p>Commentary.<br /> <br /> <br /> Warwick Castle is a very large, impressive, archetypal English Castle.<br /> It was founded in 1068 by William the Conqueror.<br /> As was often the case the original castle was a wooden construction on a motte or mound.<br /> A stone version followed in the 12th. century.<br /> Most of the present site is post-medieval but is no less impressive for that.<br /> Caesar’s Tower, north-east, and Guy’s Tower, north-west, were added in the mid-14th. century.<br /> Under the Kingship of Richard 111 two gun towers, “Bear” and “Clarence,” were added by the late 15th. century.<br /> In the 16th. century the castle became somewhat neglected. <br /> However, as with many castles by the 17th. century, their role as effective military defences had declined and many, including Warwick, were re-designed and renovated to become grand stately homes for wealthy or entitled owners.<br /> In 1604 King James 1 granted the ruinous Warwick Castle to Sir Fulke Greville.<br /> After being ennobled as Baron Brooke in 1621 he spent £20,000, equivalent to c.£5,000,000 in 2026, to renovate the whole site.<br /> The 2nd.

Social birds, very chatty. Looked like a bit of follow the leader was going on with them, one bird would fly to another tree and the other 4 would follow suit.</p>
