The beauty of architecture

Hedingham Castle was built at the beginning of the 13th century in the era of William the Conqueror. The location on the hill allowed the castle to occupy a dominant position over the surrounding lands. The first owner was Aubrey de Vere, Norman baron. Today the castle is still privately owned Jason Lindsay and his wife are its rightful owners. The castle looks exactly as we imagine the medieval fortress. Everything is simple, strictly functional. The same situation, without any frills, was the situation of residential premises. Fireplaces on each tier, narrow windows that barely let in light, simple wooden furniture, pieces of leather hanging instead of doors that was how the inhabitants of the castle lived. Of course today everything inside looks much brighter and more elegant but the harsh stone walls and steep stairs keep the spirit of the times.
