volunteer Chris Webster.\u00a0 Chris started out with a presentation about castles and what their main function was and how it wasn\u2019t always about defence.\u00a0 After this our members got to draw or build a models of their own castles.<\/p>\n<p>After a short break, Chris took us on a walk around the outside of Taunton Castle, pointing out some of the features which the MAYANS may not have considered in their designs.\u00a0 We then went back indoors to finish our drawings and models, thinking about the extra features Chris had shown us.\u00a0 Our members got really creative and it was really great to see so many different and unusual designs.<\/p>\n<p>A big thank you to Chris for running this fun and interesting session for us!<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style
