Kinnersley Castle
Kinnersley Castle is a family-owned, Grade 2* listed historic house located approximately 10 miles from the book town of Hay-on-Wye. It was one of the many Marches castles sited by the Normans along the Welsh border, though as seen today it is predominantly the remodelled Elizabethan manor house of the Vaughan family. Kinnersley Castle features various fine oak-panelled rooms and the original 1588 plasterwork ceiling of the Solar.
In 1954, Gary Garratt-Adams borrowed money to purchase Kinnersley Castle...saving it from certain demolition.
'Saving a Castle' tells the story about this unusual family from Birmingham, and their first ten years adjusting to rural Herefordshire life.
Their many challenges to create a home in a castle is described decades later by his oldest daughter Katherina (aka Kate).
