Kedleston

Stately home closed for repairs after flooding

The National Trust says flooding at Kedleston Hall caused power failure to its private waste system.

The sculpture, named after the ancient Greek god of the Sun, is on display at Kedleston Hall.

The mains water will stay off in all public areas until it "meets the standards" for drinking water.

The National Trust closed the site to visitors in October after routine tests on the water supply.

The National Trust is investigating fears Kedleston Hall's water supply could be contaminated.

The National Trust-run Kedleston Hall is to remain closed until further notice.

Parts of the hall will be lit with projections of Rangoli patterns and other traditional decorations.

The Waverley Abbey yew beat trees from Midlothian and Derbyshire for this year's title.

Conservation charity, The Woodland Trust, selected the trees with a team of experts and the public.
