Chester Castle wasn’t just another castle to add to the King’s collection.
Indeed, King Edward I recognised Chester Castle as an important military base in his campaigns against Wales, and in 1284 he gifted venison to support the monks ‘on the great work of the building of the church’. A rich gift for their rich efforts!
