Title
Hazlewood Castle - HLS05889
Description
Slide 2 - These Vavasours were a knightly race going to battles often at Flodden, Newbury, Marston and others. It was Sir Walter Vavasour who at the end of the 18th century last renovated the old ancestral seat, changing it externally into a curious incongruity, almost obliterating the edifice where for 700 years his kinsmen lived in an unbroken male line, living the life of simple knights - never having intrigued for political power nor shared in political plunder - and never having forsaken the faith of their forefathers.
