.......who is situated next to the West Gate and the Westgate Hall. The West Gate was built after the French raid of 1338 and was an important entrance to the medieval town.
Heny V and his army departed through this gate on their way to victory at Agincourt. (Vive la Fleur!)

Love the colours, it reminds me of the poem I learnt when I was young,
I've never seen a purple cow,
I never wish to see one,
Anyway I'll tell you now,
I'd rather see than be one!

I know it isn't a cow but the sentiment is the same lol!:)
