England’s longest-lived castle isn’t a ruin — it’s a family home. 📍 Rockingham Castle, Northamptonshire, England. Built soon after the Norman Conquest, Rockingham Castle has been lived in almost continuously for over 900 years. From royal fortress to country house, its walls chart the slow shift from defence to domestic life — a castle that quietly adapted instead of falling into history.

Julie and I are standing in the Great Hall built by William the Conqueror in 1067. Imagine: for 500 years, this was a royal castle, filled with kings, dogs, and… well, you don't want to know about the bathroom situation. #History #GreatHall #RoyalCastle #WilliamTheConqueror #Rockingham | Real Royalty
