The Lady Mayoress and I enjoyed an interesting visit to Leicester Castle this week.
We visited the historic courtrooms, went down into the medieval John of Gaunts Cellar and went up to the top of the Castle mound.
For centuries our castle was at the very centre of Leicester's political life. Today it is in need of considerable restoration but we still do have regular tours of the building advertised in the local press. In addition, Castle Gardens are open for all to enjoy and St Mary de Castro remains one of the most magnificent old churches in Leicester.
We anticipate showing this and many other historic features of our city to the Oberburgomeister of our twin city Krefeld when he visits us later this month.
