King Sweyn Forkbeard and Me in Oxford Castle



We visited Oxford at the weekend and climbed a Saxon tower that had enormous bells in it, but they are not allowed to ring them as the tower would collapse. but there was model that worked. 

Then we went to Oxford castle where Sweyn Forkbeard showed us round and told us all about Matilda who escaped by climbing down one of hte towers and skated up the river Thames to Abbingdone and then walked backwards to get on her horse to escape being captured.
