Inner courtyard and kitchens at Brougham Castle (Cumbria, England).

Brougham Castle was built by Robert I de Vieuxpont in the early 13th century.  In the inner courtyard is one of the castle wells, now covered up for safety.

Within the castle, each floor had a central drawing point where water for washing and drinking was available.  Some castles also had a cistern or reservoir on an upper level, with pipes carrying water downwards to the floors below.

Hand-washing could be done in a recess in the hall entrance, where there might be a built-in basin with a projecting trough.  It was supplied with water from a tank above, filled by servants, and drained by a lead pipe below.  Valves with bronze or copper taps & spouts controlled the inflow and outflow of water.

Dawn breaking along the River Eamont towards the 13th century Brougham Castle. Just outside the National Park but always worth a visit.

Dawn about to break over Brougham Castle on the banks of the River Eamonn, with the Lakeland fells in the distance. Have a great day.
