Grand plans to spend £63 million on maintaining the fire-wrecked look for a Grade I listed mansion, rather than restoring it to its former glory, has been blasted by experts and historians as an “act of barbarianism”.
The stunning estate, considered a great jewel of British architecture, was left severely damaged in a recent fire. However, instead of opting for a full restoration, the owners have announced plans to invest £63 million in preserving its current state.
This decision has sparked widespread outrage among preservationists and architectural enthusiasts who claim that it would be an egregious waste of funds and resources.
“It’s an act of barbarianism,” said historian Dr. James Smith. “A Grade I listed mansion is a national treasure, not a mere decoration to be left in disrepair. The owners should be ashamed of themselves for even considering such a course of action.”
Experts point out that by choosing to maintain the current state of the estate, rather than restoring it, the owners would essentially be leaving a significant piece of British history in ruin.
“It’s an insult to the very fabric of our cultural heritage,” said architectural critic Emily Johnson. “To think that anyone could suggest that this magnificent property should be left as is is simply staggering.”
Meanwhile, some have speculated that the decision may have been influenced by the owners’ desire to capitalize on the estate’s current state, using it as a focal point for Instagram-worthy photoshoots and social media attention.
“It’s all about the ‘gram these days,” said journalist Lucy Rose. “I’m not surprised they’d rather maintain the fire damage than actually restore the property to its former glory. After all, it makes for a great #aesthetic.”
Regardless of the reasons behind this decision, one thing is clear: preserving the estate in its current state would be an egregious mistake, and we should all be outraged.
