Fun fact, I live just a few miles from the remains of Lady Jane Grey's house in Bradgate Park. It's such a beautiful walk up to the ruins. Her ghost/carriage is said to haunt the park and you get peacocks along the walls.

I didn't realize there were ruins! The haunting is just a bonus, really.

I didn't even know they did it as a series. I liked the movie version though. :-)

Oh, yes. And....wait for it...it has HELENA BONHAM CARTER and CARY ELWES in it! You lucky duck, you get to see it for the first time! (There's also quite a few others you'll probably recognize. Hint: "Make it so." :-)
