On the right is Sir John Paulet who died in 1437, and his wife Constance he is in full armour, his surcoat is emblazoned with the De la Mare lions and around his neck is the Lancastrian collar of SS.
The chap on the window sill is Sir John de la Mare. he built the castle and died in 1383, he is on the window sill because there was nowhere else to put him.

Great image and you've captured the atmosphere well... I never did like flash in such settings. Thanks for the history.

Great Light and exposition! The atmosphere is stuning. I wonder who brings flowers to people of a so far time and which are the reasons to do so.

Quite funny how they seem almost to be piled up a shelf! I love the figures from this period.

Very interesting & well-composed shot. Though I was expecting something different from your thumbnail & thought that crop made an interesting photo as well...

I like the photo and your description but it is going to drive me crazy that Sir John de la Mare, built the castle and was the first to die (in 1383) and yet he was put on the window sill. LOL
