Becky has helped us Castle Keepers so much. She will be greatly missed and we wish her best of luck in her new role.

Well done Jackie, excellent work!

Our @CastleKeepers have been keeping busy throughout lockdown!

Check out this embroidery piece by Jackie; inspired by the Staffordshire Hoard and completed using the Medieval technique of 'couched and laid' in gold thread!

Like Maurice Berkeley who faced losing the Castle, Birmingham Musuems Trust are facing major financial uncertainty. Please donate to support their valuable work and help secure the future of Birmingham Museums.

#OTD 1424 a survey of Weoley Castle was made as part of settling an ownership dispute between Maurice Berkeley & Lady Bergavenny. The survey gives a room by room description of the castle & surrounding land. It helped archaeologists in the 30s & 50s identify rooms on the ground.

See link with information about the Musuems closing from tomorrow. It's a shame the Easter activities aren't going ahead, but best to take precautions.

Happy #NationalPieDay! In medieval & Tudor cooking, the pastry case of a pie (sometimes called a 'coffyn') was often an inedible vessel in which to cook the meat inside. There was supposedly a C16th saying: “If it’s good, tis better in a Coffyn” – which is still true today 🥧🥧🥧

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from everyone here at Weoley Castle Ruins!

We’ll see you in 2020!
