JULY ICTH, 194* FLIGHT Advertisements, 27 - Raglan Castle.. After the siege of Raglan, the garrison was allowed to march out with drums beating, banners flying and all the honours of war. The spirit of the garrison in these last days befitted the proud magnificence of the castle itself. Even in ruins, what an impressive record this is of the skill and artistic genius of the early 15th-century architects. Raglan had lofty walls with elaborate machi colations, a fine gatehouse, and a great hexagonal keep. Design in the Middle Ages was emphasised by defensive structure—towers, curtain walls, fortified moats, machicolations and many other features. The emphasis to-day is on convenience, hygiene, light—and such considerations call for steelwork in structure if the best is to be made of designers' ideas.
