Dover Castle

Dover Castle




I was here on Christmas Day with the kids, but everything was closed up. So I made a last attempt to see it. Well worth the trip.

This is probably about the oldest Roman artifact around the UK.
This is a pharos, or a lighthouse.






Snippet from some old regulations I found posted in the church:
IV. It is established by ancient rule that if a chief guard discover a warder asleep, he shall take something from him as he lies, or carry away his staff, or cut a piece out of part of his clothes, to witness again him in case the warder should deny having been asleep, and he shall lose his day's wage.
