A 12th century castle in the village of Orford, Suffolk, built by Henry II.

The circular Upper Hall was often used in Knightmare as a Level 3 chamber:
In Series 4 it was the clue room where pacts with Hordriss, Malice and Merlin were redeemed.
Helen, Alistair, Dickon and Giles were all rewarded with spells here.
The exit as seen through the Eyeshield. (Alistair, Dickon and Giles immediately arrived back in the same room again!)
Helen was later killed by Mogdred in this room.
The entrance to the Corridor of Blades could also be found here in Series 4.
Team 6 of Series 4 visited the same room four times in a single episode. On the third occasion they had to defeat Malice.
This time Dickon used a different exit.
The window seat was used to display their quest object, the Crown.
The room made a one-off appearance in Level 2 for Team 7 of Series 4. Jeremy landed on a table after climbing down the wellway.
Team 4 of Series 5 also earned vital magic from Hordriss in this chamber.
Team 6 of Series 6 were the last to visit the room, encountering Elita and Skarkill in Level 3.

The Upper Hall nowadays houses a museum.
