Wonderful wassail

Knucklas Castle Community Land Project Posted on 19 January 2020 by Kevin28 January 2020

The 2020 Knucklas’ Wassail went with a swing.  A record crowd attended for the traditional  noisy torchlight procession through the village to the edge of the orchard, whose spirit  was summoned out of the foggy darkness by the butler.  After calling for a great crop of apples in the autumn the crowd went to the Castle Inn which was already well filled.  There followed an evening of Wassail songs, offerings of toast to a new tree music and laughter.  Wassail!The event which combined with Knucklas’ regular Folk Down the Track event featured on Genevieve Tudor’s Sunday Folk Programme on Radio Shropshire.

A new view of the castle using LiDR technology has become available, look here: LiDR survey
Many thanks to Mark Walters for this new view.

It raises some interesting questions about the way the castle has been used over the many years of its existence.

We are also on the Welsh governments catalogue of heritage buildings here Coflein

Site & location

The 21 acre site, including a Cadw scheduled monument, has been bought by some philanthropic locals who are leasing it to KCCLP whilst the money is raised to purchase the site for the whole community.

Surrounding Area
