The Kirby Muxloe village website

Putting Kirby Muxloe into google I came across an entry about our castle on “Anglotopia.net” a large site that devotes itself to all things loved about Great Britain.

The entry was by Phil Hackett, the Chief Executive of Shakespear Country, the official Tourist Board for Stratford-Upon Avon, Warwick, Royal Leamington Spa, Kenilworth & the Cotswolds. Take a look at the site, he talks of a drive out which brought him to visit our Castle.  He mentions it being one of the last of its type, a quadrangular castle that is built of brick.  He says it is such a wonderful place but the thing that makes it so interestin is that it’s not a ruin.

Here is a petty one, is it or isn’t it a ruin? Phil Hackett says not because it was never finished, I say it is because it falls into dictionary definitions but English Heritage say remains, this also is a synonym of ruin. What say you?

Is there nothing more interesting I hear you say, this is Kirby so you tell me.
