Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse is perhaps most famous for his valet Jeeves, and his stories set at Blandings Castle. We're forever looking for the places about which famous literary works are written, and now fans believe they have discovered the true location of the famous Wodehouse castle.

In "Sleuthing students solve Wodehouse castle mystery," Paul Brown reports for "The Guardian" on the efforts of Ian Greatbatch and Daryl Lloyd to find the elusive castle. As geographers, they used their skills "to build a computer model to find Blandings," which "they reckon a 98% certainty." Brown says, "The claim is likely to divide Wodehouse fans."
