Watch out for English Heritage - I bet they HATE that ! Looks like you didn’t TOAL from their land though, so hopefully they can’t touch you…
This thread explains all, @bmsleight worked with EH to have permission to fly there:

English Heritage like us! We took off from their land.
Might be worth reading this thread - Southwest of London Meetup | Saturday 27th July 2024 Surrey, GU9
Wow - genuinely blown away that those guys would allows that !
I flew my old flamewheel back in the day over Porchester Castle (also when it was closed) and they went f**king mental at me, and I had to do some serious weedling to prevent legal proceedings, although I didn’t manage to stop them reporting me to CAA for laws I wasn’t breaking ! Anyway, very encouraging to see they have become MORE reasonable over time, but it’s still cheeky as hell to be trying (and succeeding) to charge £30 per flyer ! It is free to everyone else, and often deserted !
Little steps. Gain trust and who knows.
Love it - was here a couple of months ago (before they closed it to film Midsomer Murders!)
Brilliant effort by @bmsleight to actually get permission… Shows that if we ask, sometimes people are ok with us!
Your FPV-ing sparked the idea. Likely to be repeated
Ha… I’m an influencer, dontcha know.
Keep me posted if you go again - I’ll make the trip down that way.
