Ewyas Harold castle is the oldest in England. It
was built by Osbern Pentecost, a Norman lord in
the service of Edward the Confessor in the years
before the
Norman Conquest.

A group of Normans enjoy some refreshment.
The locals at the time drank ale,
or as they were Welsh-speaking, we should
perhaps say cwrw. The Normans
introduced cider to the British Isles. |
