Another image from Kirby Muxloe Castle. The brickwork on the spiral staircase is pretty complex and with the modern repairs the textures are interesting. It is a ruined, fortified manor house in Kirby Muxloe, just outside Leicester. William, Lord Hastings, began work on the castle in 1480, founding it on the site of a pre-existing manor house. It was never finished because in the cut-throat politics of the Middle Ages he was on the wrong side and the Duke of Gloucester, later King Richard III had him beheaded. HWW to everyone. Enjoy your day!
