It would appear that the anonymous putter up of posters is too late, despite their bright idea of getting two million people to put one pound each into the pot! The rumour going around town is that some sort of charitable foundation is about to buy the Castle, and that one of the members of the group is the lady who bought Booths Books and has been doing it up for the past several years.
Meanwhile, the B&R has more details about what exactly is on offer, with plenty of hyperbole in the descriptions of "magnificent grounds" and so forth. One little piece of ground that is not included in the sale is the triangle of grass just by the Castle gates - which Richard wants to keep in order to put a statue of himself on it!

Just as long as that ghastly Anthony Gormless doesn't make the statue. I don't think I could handle King Richard becoming the Angel of the West. A vision in rust!
I agree! What an appalling thought!
