		But although its look is imposing, Eastnor Castle was erected in the early 19th century not as a fortification, but as a grand private home for a prominent local family.
		The impressive mass and scale of Eastnor was intended to reflect the personality and stature of its creator as well as elevate the family into the ruling classes for future generations.
		The castle continued to languish—even going unoccupied for a period in the 30s—until 1949, when the parents of the present owner moved back into Eastnor and began the arduous process of restoration.
