Accompanied my wife to
Brancepeth Castle where about seventy craft stalls competed for our custom, most
displaying ingenious ways of combining wood, metal, coloured glass, wool and
other natural materials, but it wasn’t the ornamental that secured our cash, rather
the epicurean as we supported the economy of England’s northernmost county with
eponymous purchases from the Northumberland Cheese Company and the Northumberland
Sausage Company; as for the castle – the massive gatehouse towers and intact
curtain wall are impressive but are not matched by the rather shabby interior.
