Over on P45, one of the posters made a throwaway comment about being out there recently and that the window frames are rotting away.
And in other news, I see Lady Beit has died

It is a Section 482 property owned by the Beit Foundation

this was earlier this year, but there seemed to be construction equipment in one of the side yards, so they were possibly going to start refurbishment.
must go back out – Paul, i can grab some shots there if you’re interested.A lot of the window frames are indeed rotting at the moment (or they were at the start of the summer when I was last there….)
With the recent death of Lady Beit is it still assured that the house will remain open to the public.
Will they open more of the house I wonder than previously I wonder. I believe that there used to only be one tour a day of the upstairs of this house?
