I posted about the restoration of Apethorpe Hall and the public days back in September 2007. Now English Heritage is putting the house up for sale after spending several million pounds to buy and restore the house. The selling price is about £5 million (about US $10 million), but it also still needs millions of pounds worth of restoration work.

Here are some of the articles on the upcoming sale and the controversy over the public money spent on the hall:

Apethorpe Hall a steal at £5m – plus £12m to restore it to grandeur
