The interiors give a strong sense of how it would have been in the Middle Ages, although there were then narrow slits rather than mullioned windows, and the bare stone walls would have been softened by tapestries and furniture. It may have been occupied by the constable of Chirk, who looked after the castle on behalf of its absentee owner. *

Below all of  these rooms is the dungeon. I took one look at the staircase and thought that is not for me to explore, so I chose to sit on a bench and await the return of the intrepid explorers. I was approached by a knight in shining chain-mail and asked if  ‘Milady was alright’!!!
