APRIL 30TH, 1942 FLIGHT Advertisements. 17 Kenilworth . . . There must be few who cannot recapture from the mention of Kenilworth, the lavish gaiety of medieval times, or the fighting spirit of men-at-arms in the days of knights and chivalry, [n its prime it was the most important of the lake fortresses. The inundation surrounding it covered 111 acres. Events at the great siege of Kenilworth showed the impregnability of a well-defended castle against siege-craft of the day. It resisted all assaults, and only the exhaustion of stores and disease forced its surrender. Outer strength—from water defences, curtain walls, and the like—was the strength that mattered in the great buildings of the past ; today, in the machine age inner strength is the essential factor, and this means a framework of steel.
