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.

Kirby Hall One of England's greatest Elizabethan houses English Heritage

English Heritage
Kirby Hall

Kirby Hall is an Elizabethan country house, located near Gretton, Northamptonshire, England. (Nearest town being Corby). Construction on the building began in 1570 based on the designs in French architectural pattern books and expanded in the classical style over the course of the decades. The house is now in a semi-ruined state with many parts roof-less. The building and gardens are owned by The Earl of Winchilsea, and managed by English Heritage.


Kirby Hall has been used as a filming location for Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park and A Christmas Carol for Ealing Studios in 1999, and Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story in 2005.

Kirby Hall is a fine Elizabethan and 17th century houses earlier owned by Sir Christopher Hatton, Lord Chancellor to Queen Elizabeth I.


The  mansion is partly roofless, the walls show the rich decoration that proclaims that its successive owners were always in the forefront of new ideas about architecture and design. The Great Hall and state rooms remain intact, refitted and redecorated to authentic 17th and 18th century specifications.

It has recently restored  gardens with  elaborate ‘cutwork’ design complete with statues and urns.
