A COMFORTABLE HOME

The design of the domestic buildings inside the castle consisted of four ranges of buildings along each of the curtain walls. Windows to provide light were cut into the outer wall (although not along its north face – the direction any attacker would come). The castle had 28 garderobes (toilets), all of which emptied into the moat, and many other essential features including apartments, a chapel, various halls, kitchens, and retainers’ and servants’ quarters.
