Don Donovan's World - Baconsthorpe Castle, Norfolk

Ramblings of a much published New Zealand author - 04 October 2012

Leaves From My Sketchbooks. 46. Baconsthorpe Castle, Norfolk


With my daughter I had paid a visit to my old Royal Air Force station at Bircham Newton in Norfolk and on our way back to London we looked for a spot for a picnic lunch. This is what we found, the ruins of the gatehouse of a fifteenth century moated manor house.

For somebody from a 'new' country like New Zealand ruins such as these are sketchers' delights and remain so for as long as the drawings live in the sketchbook.
