Why this place matters

The story on the ground
REAL IDENTITY: a mansion with a 14th-century tower-house core, remodelled in the 19th century in a French Renaissance chateau style fused with Scottish baronial elements; now a free local-authority museum covering 600 years of the area's history, including a restored Georgian kitchen. ON-SCREEN IDENTITY: used as the kitchen of 'Belhurst Manor', the Duke of Sandringham's English residence, in Season 2 episode 'Vengeance Is Mine'. CURRENT RELEVANCE: the restored Georgian kitchen used for filming is the same kitchen open to visitors in the museum today.
What the evidence supports
