More about this scene
At this time the Castle was being used as a Catholic preparatory school for boys. The original castle is thought to have been built by Bertram de Verdun, who also founded the Cistercian abbey at Croxden. Eventually in 1407 it passed by marriage to John Talbot, after being in the possession of the Furnivalle family for about one hundred years.
