Yes, if only the walls could talk we would get some very interesting accounts of the visitors to the lock-up. Penny's mill is worth a side read so I'll go to that next.
Btw, what determines if a property is managed by English Heritage or National Trust or some other entity?
English Heritage tends to manage properties that are mainly ruins. They took over many that were under Government control from the early part of the 20th century under the Office of Works.
The National Trust is often donated property where they families can no longer afford the upkeep or pay estate death duties. They manage many of what we could call stately homes.
Funds are raised to purchase property to save or land. The NT started in 1895 founded by three benefactors to preserve historic and natural places.
Thanks for your explanation Roland. That separation of types of properties makes a lot of sense. Incidentally, are any properties considered of Archaeologicsl interest co-managed with an Archaeological organisation? I don't know if I'm asking the right question here.
The two organisations work closely with archaeologists. There are places such as Stonehenge and indeed more modern industrial places where they will be involved.
Thank you as the owner of The Green House, I'm grateful for the link to stay at cottage, Nunney is beautiful, lovely pub, cafe and local shop for all your needs
It's my pleasure. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I hope you have a full booking for the cottage as it's a lovely home in a beautiful village.
Wow! What a beautiful little town. And little castle! I never knew they could be small like that
Thanks Matt. It is a beautiful place and the castle is a great addition to Nunney.

Thanks Roland. Oh btw I tried to post a comment on Old Sarum Castle but it's only for paid subscibers?
The setting has been changed and you can now comment. One of those easy to click radio buttons was set!
Thanks Roland.
Thanks for that. I will see if I can change the settings as I don’t have a paid subscriber option.
