Portchester: Portchester Castle & St Mary’s Church & Churchyard
The wall of the old Roman fort that surrounds both Portchester Castle & St. Mary’s Church. Aerial view. Unusual, eh? Coin evidence dates the Roman fort (the best preserved example north of the Alps) to around AD 268, the castle … Continue reading
