English Heritage

Old Wardour Castle was a showpiece, six-sided 14th-century tower house; its design is unique in England. In Tudor times, it was modernised by the Roman Catholic Arundell family: look out for their coat of arms on the entrance front. Discover the Georgian banqueting house and the fantasy-Gothic Grotto, which incorporates ‘reclaimed’ prehistoric standing stones. Explore the castle and the changing fortunes of its owners with ‘Can you keep your castle?’, a family game. Every day, hundreds of people up and down the country help us to tell the story of England, and you could be one of them.Whether it’s helping to plant bulbs in beautiful gardens, running craft workshops for families or answering questions from curious visitors, there are a huge range of roles available.
