Stokes, who bought the land in the years 80, admitted that he let himself be carried away by the project, eventually building a large House. "There were many loose rocks on the ground, started using them to build the barn. I started very slowly, but the construction was booming, "explained Stokes to the British press. "I think I got carried away, I got carried away."

The Briton, a plastic artist, used various ancient techniques of construction, made towers and stained glass by hand.
