Our home is our castle (no, really)

-

TAKE one semi-detached home, add battlement­s, flags and goblets and abracadabr­a – you too can live in a medieval castle.

Magician Jayne Townley, 48, and her husband Martin, 47, an amateur jouster, created their pile after moving in only a year ago.

The parents of 15-year-old twins painted walls with the help of artist Martin D’Arcy and found bargains online and in charity shops.

Jayne, of Westonsupe­r-Mare, said: “The neighbours really like it. They invite friends to come and look. ”

And neighbour Graham Millichap called it “brilliant”.

Maybe they can give the Queen tips on doing up her castles on a budget?
