Perched on natural, weather worn rocks, high above Redruth,
is the strange castle at Carn Brea. Once a medieval hunting lodge, for
royalty and the well-to-do of olden times, the castle is as intriguing
a building as you are likely to find. It can be seen for miles around,
being at a high point in the heart of the Cornish landscape.
There is an impossible nature to the place that makes it perfect for The
Last Crown. Observe the way the rooms have been piled upon the smooth,
shapely rocks of the tor. A quirky rooms defying gravity. I wonder what
happens within? In The Last crown, the castle doubles as H.M.Sedgemarsh
Prison, the temporary abode of Edmund Gruel, the CatNapper! But, old buildings
have a mixed history. If Sedgemarsh were haunted, who could it
be? From what times and eras still echo within the stones, both of the
building, and its ancient foundations.
