Title
Gilling Castle, Painted Window to the Great Chamber - HLS05812
Description
Slide 11 - Our other slide shows a portion of the bay window (on the left) which is devoted to the heraldry of the Constables of Burton Constable, whose connection with the Fairfaxes dates from 1594 when Thomas Fairfax married Catherine Constable.
Such in brief, is what we have very imperfectly been able to show and describe of Gilling Castle, which well deserves a visit. Its ivy clad walls, its gardens glowing with colour, its many peacocks sunning themselves along the terraces, the distant views, and the masses of deep wood crowning the nearby heights, make a series of pictures that will not soon be forgotten.
