More about this scene

Described as an 'ambitious and correct neo-Elizabethan mansion', Greystoke Castle was remodelled by Anthony Salvin in 1839-48 and again after a fire of 1868. Its romantic façade replaced an earlier structure built for Henry Charles Howard around 1675. Salvin incorporated a medieval pele tower which William, 14th Baron of Greystoke, had been given permission to fortify in 1353.
