Hi everyone,
Apethorpe Hall in Northamptonshire was in the news recently http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/architecture/11333447/French-baron-saves-crumbling-Jacobean-manor-from-ruin.html as it's going to be substantially renovated. At the moment, there are only three pictures of the hall on Commons https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Apethorpe_Hall.
I thought I'd let you all know about it in case it's of interest and someone has any good ideas.

English Heritage is apparently running guided tours this summer: http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/daysout/properties/apethorpe-palace/ http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/daysout/properties/apethorpe-palace/ It's a bit too far for me to get to as a solo day-trip (it's a ~250-mile round-trip from Manchester), but if anyone in the Manchester area/en-route wants to share petrol costs then I'd be willing to give it a go. But it might be a bit easier for London-based people to get to? Or perhaps we could email them to ask if they could release some of their images under a free license?
Thanks, Mike

I will see if I can pop over and have a look tomorrow. I have had a beer in the pub in Apethorpe, but not visited the Hall as far as I know.
