How accurate is the guidebook information
about Kenilworth Castle?
The guidebook has a lot of information that is also in the source booklet that we have had provided, I am also going to use the knowledge of my visit to Kenilworth and some other books to get a wide variety of information.
In the guidebook the sentence “John of Gaunt changed the palace into a palace erecting a splendid house and private apartments.” This can be linked up with the information is source F which is about the fact that in the middle ages the castle was improved and made more comfortable. In the site visit we could see that the slit windows had been opened up to let more light in and we could see that on the newest section the stone looked slightly different and there were great fire places that wouldn’t have been there earlier
