This is the exhibit that alternates between a pair of Hamlyn's Guenons and a single Crowned Guenon; the species that isn't out can usually be spotted through a high side window or in one of the runs to the exhibit.

Foz it looks like the enclosure is lower than the path.I think it might be from the camera angle but it looks like it was made to give a viewing of the monkeys in the trees.
Unfortunately not. This may be age-related - he's been there a fair time, and that's the reason given for Kerry the Phayre's Langur's solitude, so it's clearly something that Twycross bear in mind.
Oddly, they've been using the Crowned Guenon quite a bit in their marketing recently - he's on the front of this year's leaflet and is the species chosen to represent guenons in the new guide book. All the more odd that he's off-show half the time.

Not really. If he's colourful and photogenic he's good for publicity and I doubt anyone except us zoochatters would notice whether they had seen him or not..

The last Crowned Guenon was housed with a single L'Hoest's Guenon for a while - they seemed to get on OK, but the L'Hoest's have now left the collection.
Of course, technically they may be in breach of some sort of advertising rule in so much as they are featuring an animal in their publicity which is not always on show to visitors- but I'm sure they will never have had a complaint...
