Well, well - one learns something new every day. The only Studley Castle I had heard of was in Warwickshire - built by the Normans. However, I located a website on Studley Royal Castle, which apparently is a folly or "neo-gothic" castle, as the website says. See http://whc.unesco.org/sites/372.htm

.. and it's in Yorkshire too !!!

There is a 'new' Studley Castle in Warwickshire - not really a castle but a stately home built by an industrialist, not far from the original Studley Castle (which is quite a prominent motte built upon by an impressive C15 manor house alongside a church).

The new Studley Castle became the training centre for Rover MG until bought out by BMW.

Despite not really being a castle, I rather like the place - so much so that I lived in a converted apple store of the 'home' farmhouse in the castle's grounds. This was called, 'The Bug in the Blanket' and pre-dates the castle by a long way. The name derives from inn of that name, which itself got it's name from the the preponderance of earwigs (bugs) that were found in the straw laid to prevent apples from bruising when they fell (the blanket).
