Alnwick Castle
Alnwick Castle has been home to the Percy family for over 700 years and remains a family home today for the 12th Duke and Duchess and their four children. In 1309, Henry Percy, great-great grandfather of Hotspur, purchased a typical Norman-style castle of motte and bailey form. In the following 40 years he and his son converted it into a mighty border fortress. They added towers and guerites around its curtain walls with a strong gatehouse at the entrance and a concealed postern gate to the rear. The gateway to the keep was strengthened with the addition of two massive octagonal towers.
All of my photographs are printed on Fuji DP Professional paper to ensure fantastic quality and longevity and mounted in a cream mount. All framed photographs collected in person will be supplied with glass, all posted frames will be supplied with perspex.
