castle notes
Paradise Productions (Pinewood Studios) with Bryan Forbes directing filmed a small part of it in Broughton. With Richard Chamberlain (and very briefly my sister Susannah - pictured right - as one of the ladies who try on the slipper during the hunt for Cinderella). We still have the hat of the messenger who was thrown into the moat by the guards after he had galloped to the Gatehouse.
