What is recorded here
Miko and the dragon flew over Meppershall Castel, laughing until the castle walls shook. They dipped through rain, climbed through fire and returned before midnight. The castle still stands, waiting for the day they come back to play.
Meppershall Castel is shown as a castle on the public map of Central Bedfordshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Meppershall Castle was built in the 12th century by the de Meppershall family, a local landholding family in the Bedfordshire area. It is remembered for its strategic position and as an example of a small Norman motte-and-bailey castle in the region.
