Studley Castle is a Grade II* listed building set in 28 acres of countryside in Warwickshire.

The vision of Francis Lyttleton Holyoake, high sheriff of Warwickshire, it was completed in 1836. He had a £120,000 budget - an eye-watering £14.5m today - and enlisted Samuel Beazley, a renowned theatre architect, to design a castle in Gothic Revival style.

For the next 70 years, Studley Castle served as an extraordinary family home. Ultimately, though, such decadent living became a price too high to pay and Francis was declared bankrupt.
