A model of Sandal Castle on a table in front of bookshelves.
We are pleased that the model of Sandal Castle, which was kindly donated to Wakefield Libraries by Mr Michael Faulkner has safely arrived in its new home in Wakefield Library!
Please call-in during library opening hours to have a look and see how the model of Sandal Castle may have looked in 1485!
