A man who managed to build a
castle behind a haystack
could face having it demolished. Robert Fidler built the castle over
the course of two years but kept it concealed behind a 40 foot stack of
hay bales. He then lived there for four years before revealing the
castle in August of last year. He claims that because the castle has
been there for four years with no objections that it is no longer
illegal. However, the council planners say that the law does not apply
in this case because no one has had the chance to see it.
