Goodrich Castle - II

In the chapel, to the right side, is a niche called the sedile. This is the place where the priest sat when not engaged in his priestly duties during a service.

Goodrich Castle

Today we visit a castle near the English-Welsh border called Goodrich Castle. While it does not appear to be in such great shape compared to, for example Bodiam Castle, it is one of the better preserved medieval castles in the UK. I'm sure that part of the reason that it is in worse shape is the fact that it is about 200 years older than Bodiam. Then there is that pesky Civil War that was unkind.
