Set idyllically in the Cotswolds near the beautiful market town of Winchcombe, Sudeley Castle can claim over 1,000 years of documented history. Rich in royal associations that span from King Aethelred the Unready to the 20th century, the house was rescued from dereliction in the mid-1800s by the Dent-Brocklehurst family, who still live there today. James is working with the present owner, Elizabeth, Lady Ashcombe, on a comprehensive history of the castle and the impressive list of historical characters with whom it is associated, for publication by Scala Publishers.
