	An Old English Castle
		The watch-tower, or barbican, was generally the highest point of a castle, to enable the inhabitants to descry the enemy at a great distance; it was sometimes situated beyond the moat, and when that was the case was connected with the ballim by a drawbridge, and formed the entrance into the castle: e.g.
		In large castles it was generally a high, square tower of four or five stories, having turrets at each angle; in these turrets were staircases, and frequently, as at Dover and Rochester, a well, a good precaution, as in case a garrison took refuge in the keep, other wells would be shut off from them.
		Among the castles dismantled by order of Edward IV uring the wars of the Roses, was Grosmont, in Monmouthsire: tradition speaks of it as the "Castle of the Red Rose," and suggests that the Lancastrian party assumed the badge from the red roses growing there in profusion.

	Broughton Things To Do - Travel Guides - VirtualTourist.com
		One of the most interesting of all the castle's rooms is the Council Chamber, 'the room that hath no ears' or so Sir William Fiennes and his distinguished friends: Lord Warwick, Pym, Lord Brooke and others thought when they held their secret meetings there to organise opposition against King Charles I in the 1630's.
		It did not, however, stop the Royalist troops from besieging and occupying the castle in 1642 after the Battle of Edgehill, as the then lord of the castle Sir William Fiennes, 8th Lord Saye and Sele, had been plotting against the King and had sent his troops to join the Parliamentary army.
		We visited it before we went into the Castle but it is better to go inside afterwards, when you know a little more about the Fiennes family, whose ornate tombs can be found in the church.
