Cue decades of chaos, arguments, and medieval drama that would put modern reality TV to shame.

It also involves one of my historical crushes. The glorious Robert of Gloucester!!! (late 11th/early 12th century is just full of fabulous men!)
SWOOOOOOOON 😍

So much! 🤣

Normally I hate it when they go OTT, but for some reason, I really like this one

Thank you! It was terrifying! But people were lovely afterwards!

All the paintings look so beautiful. The castle too when it had all it's greenery.

I mean, I it dies massive damage, but I but very pretty!

Thankfully, in the 1850s, the whitewash was removed from the vaulted ceiling panels, revealing the beautiful 15th century paintings beneath.

If you get the chance, do pop down!

It's an absolutely delightful place and cared for by some fabulous people who I met today.

The medieval painted ceiling is something to behold! Every time I see it, I’m in awe. Can you believe it was once covered in whitewash?

A stone church was built here in the 12th/early 13th century, following the traditional Welsh design of two square chambers divided by a rood screen.

The building was later extended after the construction of Edward I’s walled town on the former site of Aberconwy Abbey.
