Wollaton Hall AKA Wayne Manor celebrates its role in Batman film

Just over a year ago, ITV Central revealed that a Hollywood blockbuster was being filmed right here in the Midlands. Within hours, the news that scenes for the new Batman film would be shot at a Tudor mansion in Nottingham had spread around the world.

"The Dark Knight Rises", which has just gone on general release, is expected to bring a flood of visitors to Wollaton Hall. Today, it staged the first in a series of Batman-themed events, and our correspondent Peter Bearne was there.
