    They have a Castle I believe.
    It has a chequered history.
    I believe the entire Jewish population of the area was rounded up and massacred there around 700 or 800 years ago.

    It was a dark chapter for sure, and not one that sits well in the 'good news' thread.
    But of interest to those with a liking for Medieval history.
    Sadly such things went on all over Europe in the dark ages. England was no exception.
