I consider Lancaster as my home City so I thought it appropriate to leave Lulworth TB in one of my caches near to this great historical landmark.
The earliest standing fabric of the Castle is found in the Norman Keep, built in about 1150.
The Castle is owned by Her Majesty the Queen, who is the 'Duke of Lancaster'. As well as being a fortification the Castle is also one of Europe’s longest serving operational prisons. Amongst many alleged witches to be brought to Lancaster, the most famous were the Pendle Witches, who were tried, convicted and sentenced to death here. George Fox, the founder of the Quaker movement, was imprisoned in the Castle for 2 years.
