Raglan, set amongst
green, rolling border
country,marks the end of
an auspicious line.
Largely the creation of
the more peaceful later
Middle Ages, it brings to
a close the great
castle-building episode
in Welsh history. Its
towers might echo those
of Caernarfon or
Beaumaris, yet they were
not built with the same
single minded military
intent. Raglan is more a
statement of wealth and
social aspiration (a
precursor to the country
house) than an
intimidating military
presence. |
