There is an excellent documentary series about it, Secrets of the Castle [1], with historian Ruth Goodman and archeologist Peter Ginn taking part in the building and upkeep. Very old-fashioned but highly rewarding stuff, as are all their series, such as Victorian Farm.

I do believe the Absolute History channel on youtube has their series now, if you want an easy to stream source.
