------------------ ------------------ Gordon.Don Potvin I am helping my son put together a power point presentation for his class at school on castles of the middle ages. If anybody has any good color graphics of castle stuctures with descriptions of the parts of a castle that I could download, I would appreciate the help.
Thank YouPhilip Davis Sites with this sort of detail are very rare on the web in my experience. There is a illustrated glossary of medieval architecture at http://www.pitt.edu/~medart/menuglossary/INDEX.HTM but these are scetches and you have to know what you are looking for. Helen has a simple, but well illustrated, general essay on castles at http://www.geocities.com/helenelope/castles/castles.html . At the other end of size is Jeff Thomas's excellent Castles of Wales site at http://www.castlewales.com/home.html which includes many pictures, however it doesn't quite do what your after (There is an illustrated essay on the domestic parts of a castle at http://www.castlewales.com/life.html ). I'm afraid it might be a matter of browsing through these sites and downloading images as you spot them.
And as I rode by Dalton-Hall Beneath the turrets high, A maiden on the castle-wall Was singing merrily: The Outlaw by Sir Walter Scott
