What is recorded here

Standen Park House occupies the castle label on the public map of Lancaster, though twenty numbered residences and repeated sales since 1998 suggest an ordinary housing estate rather than a fortress. The false grandeur may have entered through a transcribed address, a mapping mistake or a jest repeated until it became official. Number 22 appeared twice in days at the end of 1998, perhaps a deposit, a withdrawal or a sale completed twice in different ledgers.

Standen Park House is shown as a castle on the public map of Lancaster. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Standen Park House was built in the early 19th century as a country house, not a military castle, and is associated with the Standen family. It is remembered for its historical architecture and its mistaken depiction as a castle on some maps, including the public map of Lancaster.
