Siege of Bedford Castle was the last great siege of the First Baron's War. In 1244, its custodian Fawkes de Breaute abducted one of the King's justiciars and held him prisoner. King Henry III was outraged and laid siege to the castle in June. In the siege which lasted eight weeks, every technique of medieval siege warfare was used yet it still took three assaults to break into the castle.

Meet at 11.00am outside the Embankment Hotel, The Embankment, Bedford MK40 3PD.

Dear all,

As most of you know, the National Trust has recently changed it's policy on photography in the interiors of it's properties. Most properties now allow photography without flash, tripod or monopod inside.

Please post your interior photographs of National Trust properties to our new group:

Please don't forget the other National Trust groups also!

Best regards,
