Mediocre White Male
Welcome to historic Lander Castle. Up in the Turret of Terror, the actor who plays the human statue of its former owner has time on his hands and a story to share. With Will Close.
Welcome to Lander Castle and Gardens, one of England's least visited heritage sites. Steeped in history dating back to the Middle Ages, Lander Castle's many attractions include jousting, its bucolic gardens, live actors and, of course, the legendary Turret of Terror, where the spirit of the castle's former owner Sir Fulke Treville is said to still haunt the halls.
It's nearing the end of the day at the castle and visitors are petering out. Up in the Turret, the human statue of Sir Fulke has time on his hands and a story to share.
The drama contains discussion of inappropriate abusive relationships.
