‘World’s largest’ cannonball-throwing trebuchet could be yours for just £100,000

Planning a surprise attack on a fortress and have a spare £100,000? Well, this could be for you.

For almost two decades, this 22-tonne monster catapult – believed to be the world’s largest – has been wowing crowds at Warwick Castle.

But its time sitting on the lush green lawns has sadly come to an end because its owner thinks it’s a bit of an eyesore.

‘Guy de Beauchamp’, an actor who plays the 10th Earl of Warwick for tourists, said: ‘Frankly the old trebuchet parked outside is bringing down the overall look of the place.

‘It worked like a dream up in Scotland though, and it’s still got plenty of life left in it so it makes sense to sell it on.
