Trust unveils its plans to revive 'derelict' mansion

The mansion is located in the sprawling Ashton Court grounds to the west of Bristol and parts are used for events and functions.

The Grade I-listed building has been owned by Bristol City Council since 1959. But Historic England believes the mansion is at risk due to its deteriorating condition.

Now the council is considering handing over the mansion on a long lease to a trust, which will carry out the repairs.

The proposals put forward by the Bristol Historic Buildings Trust will be considered by councillors on the strategy and resources policy committee next Monday.

A committee report set out the details of their plans, including how to fix the leaky roof.
