The Ruins of Farnham Castle

Built in 1138 by the grandson of William the Conqueror, Farnham Castle was the residence of the Bishops of Winchester for 800 years.  In the early 15th century it was the home of Cardinal Henry Beaufort who presided at the heresy trial of Joan of Arc in 1431.  Today we explored what remains of the castle.

We enjoyed a very nice veggie breakfast at the Lion & Lamb.
