Andrew, any chance you could post the building description (briefly) associated with the numbers on the plan?

Thanks for posting this one. I really like the layout.

For that I will need to refer to one of my books. I'll probably get that sorted tomorrow. :P I have to admit to having been to Alnwick town without actually going in the castle. I only had an hour to spare, and the cost to enter was substantial.

Thanks...no hurry though....and I'm only looking for basics here. I really like the layout. This one just may be the winner for a place to start in my own layout. It has everything I like...a center courtyard, its not too "boxy" and I like the way the wards are shaped....nice garden possibilities....and there is a mix of tower shapes.
