NAME: The Castle Hall
LOCATION: Castle View, Leicester
COPYRIGHT OWNER: Semper Eadem 
NOTES: The Castle Hall, part of the original castle complex, was used for centuries as Leicester court. Although it has lost its character externally due to a 17th century facade, internally fragments of the Norman timbered roof still remain.

Underneath the Castle Hall is John of Gaunt's Dungeon, which (legend has it) was used as a dungeon by John when he was Earl of Leicester. Unfortunately, there is no evidence of this, and most likely is was used as a simple storage cellar.
