Lord Bath Parties at Thornbury Castle

Lord Bath Parties at Thornbury Castle.

Lord Alexander Bath arrived at Thornbury Castle on Wednesday to taste the locally grown wine. To end up partying all night with wiflets, friends and well known French landscape painter Ken Hancock and Erotic Painter Penny Griggs.

Manager Brian Jarvis of Thornbury Castle quoted.

“His Lordship was a very pleasant and friendly man, who very much resembled the Greek god Dionysus. His entourage were a very colourful, artistic and extroverted group of well manner people.”

“I believe Lord Bath enjoyed the food and many bottles of fine wines we had to offer, as they were happily contented to the late evening.”

Lord Bath is a colourful aristocrat and custodian of the fabulous Elizabethan Longleat Estate. His polyandrous lifestyle and "wifelets" have been the well publicised unusual lifestyle of a British Lord. A painter whom studied in the ateliers of Paris he used his talents to decorate the walls of his stately home with his own vibrant erotic brand of graffiti. A painter, author, poet and musician, Lord Bath, has become the most artist and famous Lord of the Longleat Estate.

It is believed that Lord Bath drank many bottles of Thornburys home grown wine, till the early hours of the morning. Thornbury Castle currently has about half an acre of Muller Thurgau vines growing within the castle walls. The walls provide protection from damaging winds and create a unique microclimate that aids the growth and ripening of the grapes. There wine is produced by Three Choirs Vineyard in Newent, Gloucestershire and is sold in Thornbury Castle’s restaurant. It is a medium-dry, white wine and brand amongst the large collect it has to offer dinners.

Guests of the Castles reported that French Landscape Artist Ken Hancock and Erotic Artist Penny Griggs, had presented one or two of their paintings for the castle, for there hospitality. And even thou they were up quite late, they had been very welcoming, joyful and pleasant to people whom stumbled upon there very merry party.

Brian Jarvis quoted.

“Ken Hancock has always been very reclusive, so we are very honoured to have his presence at Thornbury Castle. I believe he is the only member of La Societe Nationale des Beaux Arts in Paris since Henry Moore in the 1950s. We are a great fan of his work.

Penny Griggs was a very vibrant, charming, free spirited young lady. Who is a very talented young lady. Her paintings were very colourful and explicit, and I can see why Lord Bath is a fan of her work.”
