The World’s Greatest Living Artist - Your Buddy Ted Stourton



"One Of The Brightest Stars"

One day your story will be told.
One of the lucky ones who's made his name.
One day they'll make you glorious,
Beneath the lights of your deserved fame.
And it all comes round.
Once in a lifetime like it always does.
Everybody loves you 'cause you've taken a chance,
Out on a dance to the moon, too soon.
And they'll say told you so.
We were the ones who saw you first of all.
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars.
One day they'll tell you that you've changed,
Though they're the ones who seem to stop and stare.
One day you'll hope to make the grave,
Before the papers choose to send you there.
And it all comes round.
Once in a lifetime like it always does.
Nobody loves you 'cause you've taken a chance,
Out on a dance to the moon, too soon.
And they'll say told you so.
We were the ones who saw you first of all.
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars.
And they'll say told you so.
We were the ones who saw you first of all.
We always knew that you were one of the brightest

THANKS JIM CARREY you are a True Friend to Mankind.

Dear Friends and Noble Ambassadors of Camelot Castle,

We sometimes get asked why it is that, everyday, we focus so hard on helping new artists get up and running in life and in their careers.

The artist's role in society has been very underestimated by the current culture, and the potential sphere of influence that an artist can exert for good is extraordinary.

This web site and initiative that has been created by Jim Carrey illustrates exactly why we work in this direction: http://www.betterufoundation.org
Jim Carrey's Video Letter (click to hear his message)


Jim has been a tremendous personal inspiration to us at Camelot and as such, a true friend of Camelot. From the early days that we spent living in Hollywood and enjoyed witnessing the stunning success that he has had with his comedy career and his extraordinary talent.....To THIS..... a unique and supreme mark of greatness....... Jim in this action is showing the world what just one artist can do and how any artist can use his sphere of influence to salvage whole countries from poverty.

In particular watch the "Letter from Jim Carrey"......at this link below.

And do forward this on.
Thanks Jim Carrey. You are a true Noble Ambassador of life and a friend to mankind.

You have our deepest respect and appreciation for all that you have done.

All our love Jim, and we look forward to welcoming you and seeing you soon at Camelot Castle.

Camelot Castle Artists In Residence Program



The Camelot Castle Artists in Residence Program is a private program that allows artists to stay for free at Camelot Castle. This simple idea which is to give creative artists some space and time in which to create, is a wonderful way for people to explore their creativity and to add to their success or indeed start to have success as an Artist.

The program runs at the discretion of the owners of Camelot, John Mappin and Ted Stourton, and is one of the most exciting, fresh and innovative ideas to influence the creative community for many years

In the last 10 years over 275 artists have been helped by this program and many attribute their success to it.

Camelot Castle Acquires Prime Stonehenge Internet Portal


Stonehenge, one of the most important loved and visited tourist destinations in the British Isles, acquired a new Patron and Guardianship today... Camelot Castle

Tintagel, Cornwall - The Diamond Jewel of Cornwall, the stunning castle hotel in Tintagel - Camelot Castle - is proud to announce that it acquired today the domain name http://www.stonehenge.cc

The owners of Camelot Castle had this to say:

"We are very delighted that we have been able to acquire one of the most important and historic internet portals. It is a tremendous honour, duty and responsibility. Stonehenge is an eternal testimony to man’s search for truth and his spiritual legacy.

“Man’s cultural journey and search for truth through his religions and faiths is the only true road that we all have in common as human beings and we believe that this is one of the reasons that Stonehenge attracts more and more visitors every year."

http://www.stonehenge.cc , which may receive in excess of 1.5 million on line visitors a year, will act for many as a powerful portal to that search for truth. In addition, it will become an entrance point to a new internet news network that is dedicated to forwarding helpful positive news that assists in man’s spiritual rise and search for truth.

The website contains a unique perspective on the history and purposes of Stonehenge.

“The sacred sites of Britain still have a job to do and a role to play and however advanced our culture becomes, these locations are icons and are markers on a journey that will ultimately take us to the stars and the galaxies and universes beyond them. If this acquisition assists in that journey to any degree, then we will be delighted," said John Mappin.
