More about this scene
Built in the early 19th century by Lord Valentia, the Castle was bought by Mr R D Turner in 1959. By 1958 it had become a ruin, and it was demolished in 1962. Viscount Valentia was a colourful character who loved fireworks and spent hundreds of pounds on his hobby. His castle was originally the ancient manor house of the Lyttleton family, Arley Hall, and huge sums of money were spent in converting it to a medieval-style castle with four massive towers and a great hall. Although the Castle has gone, there remains an arboretum of trees wonderful to behold, especially in autumn.
