Stockbridge Castle was the hereditary seat of the medieval Earl of Mummerset. Although George — pretending to be the real earl — claimed it to be the largest castle in the West Country, its battlements were in fact not that impressive. The men of Stockbridge were serfs to the Earl of Mummerset for generations, and thus were largely responsible for the upkeep of the castle.
By the 20th century, the castle was in ruins. (AUDIO: Castle of Fear) The Stockbridge Manor was later built in the ruins of Stockbridge Castle, from the castle's very stones. (AUDIO: The Eternal Summer)
Behind the scenes[]
Because the castle fell into disrepair long before modern times, it only features in Castle of Fear.
