Some photographs of Framlingham Castle, as well as some historical tidbits:
*snip*
For a short time in the 16th-century it was the focal point of national interest when Mary Tudor, daughter of Henry VIII, fled to the castle, in her ownership at that time, with her troops; to avoid her pursuers, followers of Lady Jane Grey in 1553. It was during the time Mary was at the castle that she was proclaimed England's first ruling queen.
