On a warm sunny day in May thirty Friends of Romsey Abbey, visited the historic Castle in Arundel. There are 1,000 years of history in this great castle, situated in magnificent grounds overlooking the River Arun in West Sussex and built at the end of the 11th century. There was also an opportunity to stroll round the picturesque market town of Arundel.
It is possible to wander through the state rooms full of fine art, fabulous furniture and intricately carved statures. In the gardens, the Fitzalan Chapel, which was damaged in the Civil War in 1643 has been restored. The more intrepid Friends climbed to the top of the Keep enjoying the magnificent views from the top of the walls.
