How to build a Medieval Castle | Real life with Ruth, Peter and Tom

Historian Ruth Goodman and archaeologists Peter Ginn and Tom Pinfold turn the clock back as they learn how to build a medieval castle using the same tools, techniques and materials available in the 13th century. Although Britain has some of the finest remaining castles of the medieval period, many of their secrets have been lost in time.

This edition focuses on the surprisingly colorful world of medieval interior design, with Peter Ginn and Tom Pinfold rendering and lime-washing the inside walls of a guard tower, transforming its dark stone walls into a bright space. Ruth Goodman makes paint and decorates the castle bedchamber using designs based on those recently discovered at an 11th-century church nearby, and Peter gets to grips with the indoor toilets known as garderobes.

In this video, Ruth, Peter, and Tom venture into the eerily colorful world of medieval interior design. The castles we see today have been ravaged by centuries of decay. Most of their original roofs, carpentry, and interior finishes have long since vanished, but they were lavishly decorated in their heyday.
