Title: Warwick Castle
Post by: Ellie07 on Wednesday 17 August 22 12:46 BST (UK): Does anyone know if there was something put out in a newspaper in the 70s in regards to a search for the next people in line to inherit Warwick castle? I know was eventually sold on to the Tussauds group in 1978 but does anyone know of anything before that?

Any information would be much appreciated.
