How to find Broughton Castle
To see a fine Lady On a white horse
It is rumoured locally that the "Fine lady" of the rhyme was actually a Fiennes lady from Broughton Castle. Sadly not true even though there was the remarkable Celia Fiennes who rode round England on horseback in the 1690s. The Illustrated Journeys of Celia Fiennes can be purchased from Broughton Castle (£14.99 plus postage and packaging - £5.50).
Pictured in the banner above in red is Alison Pain who visited Broughton in 1988 on her shire horse Mighty, when re-enacting Celia's ride as part of the William and Mary Tricentennial.
But you won't have to ride a cockhorse to find us just outside Banbury - we are only 3 miles from the M40 and the railway station in Banbury.
