Department 56 Heathmoor Castle Dickens Village Collection Lighted 58313

True Scottish castle design, 'Heathmoor Castle' adds royalty and eminence to the Dicken's Village Collection. The word castle is traced to the word castrum, which is Latin for fort. Now castle has a broader definition, especially in folklore, to include not only forts but also private residences of people of power and wealth. Tales of hapless maidens locked in the tower seem to surround castle folklore as well.

Step back in time to the cobblestone streets, gas street lamps, and horse-drawn carriages of our 19th century Dickens' Village Series. Revel in the bustling, hearty, and joyous atmosphere found in the holiday season of Victorian England. This series, introduced in 1984, has many pieces inspired by best-loved Dickens' novels, like Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby, David Copperfield, Great Expectations, and A Christmas Carol. With old-world churches, quaint shops, cozy cottages, rustic schools, and more, the series portrays London and the surrounding countryside as it was during Dickens' lifetime. Detailed accessory pieces recreate the fervor of the busy streets. Sip a cup of hot tea and let the magic of our Dickens' Village enchant you.
