Thursday morning Anne and her friend Richard picked us up at Gatwick Airport. Jacob was feeling a little better so they took us to Arundel Castle in West Sussex. Here's Ellen with what she remembers most about the castle.
My absolute favorite part about Arundel Castle was probably the huge gallery that probably was the ballroom or the main hall or something when the castle was built.
It has TONS of portraits of famous people that visited the castle a long time ago. IT WAS SOOOO COOL!!!! There were animal skins on the floors, and there were these two huge, beautiful fireplaces that I could easily imagine them heating up the gigantic room. My aunt said," When I thought of castles, I always thought that they were cold and somewhat depressing in the winter, but those fireplaces could really make things cozy in here!"
