Thanks Ian - as someone not used to forum etiquette as TM is the only one I use, I stand corrected. However was simply trying to keep everyone informed.

Plenty of accommodation though, MSV have just bought the hall for use as an hotel.

All a long way from when the Gillis-Shields family owned it - last I heard, they lived in a flat above the stables at Isley Walton just down the road from Donington Park having sold the manor at Isley Walton.

It has to be a good business move for the company and I imagine the upper echelon of competitors might like somewhere on site to rest their heads. I hadn't appreciated the demise of the family fortunes.

Polo ponies, Chauffeur driven cars to Ascot and Fortnum & Masons hampers all have a price. It's what happens when a woman marries for money that she then spends.

I see in the local rag that a motorbike retailer has bought the museum bit to open as a showroom & cafe.
