More about this scene

Nothing is quite what it seems here. Despite its spelling, the name is pronounced 'Chumley'. Despite its looks, the castle actually only dates from 1801, when the main house was built; the turrets and towers were then added even later in 1817. The architect who did this later work, Robert Smirke, is also known for another 'fake' castle he designed at Eastnor in Herefordshire.
