Plans considered for fire-hit hall
The owners of a building which was destroyed by fire are working on a plan to redevelop the site.
Overstone Hall has been empty since two-thirds of it was destroyed by fire in 2001. Owners the New Testament Church of God said they wanted "to do the best" for the building.
Bishop Eric Brown said: "We're working with Daventry District Council to come up with a plan to develop the site but it's too early to say how. We haven't got good firm plans yet.
"It's a very lovely site and that's one of the main reasons we are holding on to it. We have invested emotionally and financially in it and we have an attachment to it."
Keith Thursfield, development control manager for Daventry District Council, said: "We are currently in discussions with the landowner about the future of the Overstone Hall, which is a grade two listed building."
