**The Property**
'Acton Castle' was built for the botanist John Stackhouse in 1775 who was an
occasional visitor. When not in residence, he left the castle in the care of
his tenant farmer - a local called John Carter. Unbeknownst to Stackhouse,
John Carter was a notorious smuggler, going by the name 'The King Of Prussia'
(and for whom nearby Prussia Cove is named). Carter took advantage of the
empty property as a hideout when needed. The castle was extended in the 1900s
and eventually converted into luxury apartments in the 1980s.
