The part of their site that I read said that random clues would be posted "somewhere" on the main sitew but that you have to check often as they wont stay there for long

This is where it says about extra clues on Twitter (although there aren't any)

Ok, I think this might reinforce the link to the Duke of Wellington, whilst doing another search for [Wellington +truth] I came across this page http://m.vam.ac.uk/collections/item/O127118/truth-and-falsehood-model-for-wellington-monument-truth/ I suspect that the artifact in question is held at the V&A in South Kensington but to me it forms a double link with the mosaic and working gaol.

Can a Golf CLUB be the answer at all? We are supposed to be looking for a PLACE and most Golf Clubs are entities that play on Golf Courses.
e.g. Turnberry Golf Club is an organisation that plays golf at Turnberry Golf Course.

Whilst technically, you are correct, I think that most people tend to think of Golf Clubs as places and I doubt that the people that run the cashhunt site would be any different to most people in this respect. They have, after all, made some errors in the past that we have mentioned here on MSE, that have later been corrected on their site.

ok bit more on the sculpture of Truth and Falsehood - it depicts Truth pulling out Falsehood's "double" tongue I wonder if this has anything to do with "word two"

anyway that aside the sculptor of the statues of Truth and Falsehood - this is his Wiki page if its any help... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Stevens_(sculptor)

The thing that's bugging me most at the moment is, what "word two you must find" actually means.

So far we've mostly been working on the assumption that we have to find either the 2nd word of the answer, or the more likely option that the 2nd word of something else will lead us in the right direction.

I am beginning to wonder if it is that simple or if the clue has a far more unfathomable twist.

I am currently convinced however, that whatever the answer it is linked in some way to the Duke of Wellington, St. Paul's Cathedral, Wellington's monument or the sculptor who designed it.

A couple of possibilities to consider are that whilst the location of the monument is where it was originally intended to be, it stood for a while elsewhere in St. Paul's. Also the designer died before it was completed and his student finished it. Also, he did not win the competition to create the monument, but was chosen when it was realised his design was best for the location.

One thing that I suggested earlier is that we are actually looking for the letters "TWO" somewhere.

A few other possibilities regarding Wellington, he was also known as The Iron Duke, his full title was Field Marshal Arthur Wellesley 1st Duke of Wellington etc, his original name was Arthur Wesley (source) and of course he was Prime Minister twice.
None of which helped me though. I'm still stuck at Turnberry :rotfl:

The pattern from inmates will lead to the truth

The pattern from inmates is almost certainly the "Fish Scale" and if, as was suggested earlier "will lead to the truth" is just a filler, then the "word two" mentioned in the next line should be SCALE, If you rearrange the letters of scale to LASCE and then add LLES (Flog or SELL the wrong way), you end up with LASCELLES. The Lascelles family are the owners of Harewood House.
Another dead end?

Francis Ann Lascelles married Alexander Hope, "Homeward with hope"?

I google Alexander Hope and came up with Alexander Beresford Hope. Which could lead to Bedgebury Park, Kent.

The Alexander Hope that Frances Anne Lascelles married was the son of John Hope, 2nd Earl of Hopetoun.
There is a portrait of Lady Frances Hope in Harewood House
