An incredible Aladdin’s Cave of 17th century treasures has been discovered in a castle, which once belonged to the publisher of the James Bond books. The 460 items, many from the Cromwellian period, were found stashed in attics and in rooms of the former home of George Wren Howard. The location of the castle in Wales is shrouded in mystery for security reasons.
Howard co-founded Jonathan Cape Publishers, which famously published Ian Fleming’s 007 novels. The entire contents of the castle in Wales, where Howard lived before his death in July 1968, is going under the hammer for a total of £100,000 ($112,408) when they go to auction on October 28.
