North Yorkshire’s film-star castle set to earn its keep by hosting paying guests

Wealthy fans of Brideshead Revisited or Bridgerton may soon be able to stay at newly refurbished Castle Howard

Laurence Olivier's elderly Lord Marchmain in Brideshead Revisited died in it and a pair of hot young newlywed aristocrats in Bridgerton made out in it.

Now someone with deep pockets may be able to occupy that same 18th-century canopy bed at Castle Howard. In the morning they might take breakfast in a room with Canaletto paintings on the wall and Meissen plates on which to butter their toast.
