Castle spokesman Jon Hogan said: “The book has not been exhibited outside London in living memory.

“It’s an unmissable chance to see it in the grounds of a castle built by the king who ordered the Domesday survey.”

The exhibition also features Van Dyck's triptych painting of Charles I, lent by the Queen from the Royal Collection.placeholder image
