This term year 8’s visited Weobley’s Motte and Bailey castle as part of their lessons whilst studying the Middle Ages.
Pupils walked down to see the earthworks that remain on the site of the castle that was first built towards the end of the 11th Century. Pupils sketched the remains of the castle and found out about its history and significance.
