A historic hall should be sold off by Leicestershire County Council to save money, councillors have said.

The authority is currently deciding the future of Beaumanor Hall, once a World War II listening station and Grade II listed mansion near Woodhouse which it now runs as a wedding and events venue.

The building, also used for school trips, made a loss of £459,000 in 2024/25 and is expected to lose £561,000 by the end of this financial year.

Local historian Jim Butler told Â鶹Éç Leicester's Ady Dayman more about its history.

A council spokesperson said: "We want to thank everyone who has taken the time to give us their views, and we're currently engaging with schools about our educational offer until 17 November.
