heatherbelle89 Hi everyone, Ive got a few questions and would be really gratefull if anyoen could help me out.
1)did castles have water accessible on all floors?
2) Where were chapels located in early castles?
3) How were main bedrooms and guest rooms laid out in castles?
Ive doen the rest of the project but can't find these ones anywhere
Maria As far as I know, water was indeed accesible on all floors, mainly because the servants were carring it . They bought water from the fountain (wells? not sure what the exact term is) or lakes. For more information, try http://www.castles-of-britain.com/castleze.htm
It also gives information on lavabos , but not all castles had them. Sometimes the servants bought water in... uh... pots, in which they had put rose petals.

Maria http://www.castles-of-britain.com also has the answer to where the chapel was located
Merlin Well, well. It seems, that some teachers have a lack of imagination, so they can't create a new set of questions from time to time! Please check out our former discussions on the topic of water accesability: http://www.castlesontheweb.com/quest/Forum8/HTML/000079.html http://www.castlesontheweb.com/quest/Forum6/HTML/000067.html
Merlin For everyone interested in the question of water supply on medieval castles:
There is a meeting of experts for this topic on castle Blankenheim (Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany) from oct. 6th to 9th this year. The program with further information (in german) can be downloaded here: www.deutsche-burgen.org/frontinus-flyer.pdf
heatherbelle89 Thanks very much for that everyone
Levan On churches and chapels - not all were inside the castle at all - indeed, in some places "the Church" was seen as a rival to the castle and would compete in respect to land holdings, feu duties, and entitlement to taxation (and even extortion of pseudo taxes). In many areas the church was an extremely powerful landholder and strongly in opposition to the king and his feudal appointees (until Henry VIII just took over leadership of the church).
There are many castles in the UK where the main church is outside the castle walls, and in some instances had their own walls and fortifications.
