		The castle chapel was often installed in the gatehouse or one of the main towers (nearer my God to Thee!), and a small garden inside the walls provided herbs, flowers and vegetables in emergencies.
		It is a self-contained strong house, a defensible seigniorial residence usually with more than one suite of accommodation, a residence that would also be the whole castle.
		It had all the components, halls, chambers, chapels, and sometime kitchens all together into one compact unit, the result being an impressive tower.

		The Arbury version could easily be described as "foul papers" in that many kinds of revision are evident; the Osborne looks more like a "fair copy" and incorporates many of these revisions.
		However, close analysis suggests that there was another version of the play from which the Arbury author/scribe was working and that another version yet must have existed between the Arbury and the Osborne.
