During the days of yesteryear, it was the custom of the musicians to assemble in the Minstrel Gallery to sing and play for gala events in the Ballrooms and Great Halls of castles and stately mansions.
Here at Ravenscroft Castle, we have our own troupe of "players," as well. They are listed in the order in which they appear at Ravenscroft Castle, its Grounds, its Sacred Well, and its Village:
Rebecca's stepdad, Verne, also known as "Mr. Aurelian, the steward and caretaker of Ravenscroft Castle."
Rebecca's husband, John, also known as "Robin Locksley, the head groundsman."
Rebecca's son, Shane (at age four), also known as "Ian, a village lad."
Rebecca's stepdaughter, Chrissy, also known as "Sybil, the Keeper of the Sacred Well."
Rebecca's mother, Beverly, also known as "Mrs. Aurelian, the chair of the Ravenscroft Village Association."
Many thanks to them all for being such good sports and allowing themselves to appear in the guises they do here at Ravenscroft Castle!
