Guests coming to Wayne Manor will quickly discover that the name doesn't do it justice. It’s actually more of a castle. Architecturally it’s described as a ‘Neo-Renaissance English country-house’, but that’s an even worse depiction. Three stories tall, with four corner towers made of a grey-gold Ancaster stone, the mansion looked like an ornate birthday cake with iron pinnacles for candles. Every side of the manor is faced with what must have been hundreds of glass windows – some enormous, but some no bigger than a castle keep’s flechette - all glowing brightly from within. The entrance hall opened onto an Imperial staircase, before which a flood of the wealthiest people in the country shook hands with the Lord of the Manor before turning into the first-floor ballroom on the left. Across the Hall, dinner was being prepared in the kitchen for service in the adjoining Dining Room.
