A couple of relatives of the last occupants have had a bit of a tour of the property: https://coventryobserver.co.uk/news/relatives-of-last-charterhouse-owner-take-tour-of-refurbishment/

Looks like the charterhouse will open next spring.

I'd be a lot happier if Harrabin wasn't involved.

I'm not making any suggestions of impropriety, but his company seems very involved with schemes like this. I'd like to see things spread around a little.

I went on a school trip (Sunday afternoon!) when the Lunt fort at Baginton was being excavated. Apparently, it was the only time the teacher had seen me show an interest in anything!

I've been interested in archaeology since I was a kid, spending years watching Time Team.

I find things like this fascinating. Maybe in a different life I'd have taken up archaeology?
