Inspiration for Bourne's Castle

Arts & Culture
According to an interview with Architect Flagg, Bourne's Castle was inspired by the novel "Woodstock" by Sir Walter Scott. The original hunting lodge and castle, used by Prince Charles II during his bid to gain the throne of England, was located at Woodstock Park near Oxfordshire, England. That castle was torn down in the early 1700s and replaced by Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.
