Honeycrock Farm in Salfords, Surrey was the subject of a lengthy legal battle to demolish a Mock Tudor family home that was built without planning permission. The action was taken by Reigate and Banstead Borough Council after the site's owner built a large dwelling (c.2001) concealed behind a haystack. The local authority only became aware of the mock castle after the bales were removed in 2004. Known popularly after its owner as "Fidler's Castle",[1] the building was eventually demolished in 2016 following a decade of legal disputes.
