Quest For The Barton Grail

Eight hundred years ago, Sir Hugh Barton returned to his family home, Castle Frontenac, after participating in the Crusades. Sir Hugh was awarded a golden goblet, known as the Barton Grail, in recognition of his services. Within a matter of months, Sir Hugh and the Barton Grail had disappeared.

We are recruiting a band of young men, interested in attempting to qualify for knighthood, to help find Sir Hugh and restore the Barton Grail.
