AFTER TEMPEST AND TURMOIL BAMBURGH CASTLE STILL BRAVELY STANDS  

STANDING securely on its high massive rock south of Berwick-upon-Tweed,  

and dominating the coast of Northumberland, is Bamburgh Castle. For  

many centuries this great fortress has withstood the ravages of time, of wars  

and of the elements, and today it still gives an impression of enduring strength.  

It is natural stronghold, for early documents record the fact that it was

by thirty-four successive Anglo-Saxon kings as royal residence. Bamburgh

frequently besieged, but it remained unconquered by Danes or Scots, although  

the surrounding countryside was devastated. In the eleventh century, after
