"Building Castles"IntroductionHave you ever dreamed of living in a castle? When we think of kings and queens, most of us imagine a fairy-tale life of castles with drawbridges and moats. But what did it take to construct a castle? And how many people were needed? In the 1000s, when nobles began building stone castles, there were no front-end loaders, cranes, or chain saws. Hundreds of these stone structures exist in Britain. How did they do it?
