Barleythorpe Hall Rutland Mr Terry C King (Conservative) - EXTON WARD (Deputy Leader of the Council)

Mr Terry C King (Conservative) - EXTON WARD (Deputy Leader of Rutland County Council) has rather disgracefully suggested it would be possible to demolish more of Rutland's Heritage.

They Council is planning to once again attempt to flog of Barlythorpe Hall and Cllr King said there should not be to many restrictions attached to the sale.

Hurry up English Heritage why is this fine building not listed?

The Council wants tourists to visit Rutland, what is there left for them to visit?

Barleythorpe Hall was a home of Lord Lonsdale, He was known as the Yellow Earl for his penchant for the colour. He was a founder and first president of the Automobile Association (AA) which adopted his livery.
