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.

English Heritage is apparently running guided tours

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

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.
