The Chancellor's Autumn statement held on 23 November 2016 had a surprising measure for Jane Austen fans, which is that Britain's largest stately home is saved for the nation as Chancellor pledges £7.6million to turn Wentworth Woodhouse into a tourist attraction.
- Chancellor will find the £7.6m needed for a preservation trust to buy the giant house near Rotherham
- It was used in TV, film and was the inspiration for Pemberley in Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice
- Wentworth Woodhouse took 25 years to build in the early 1700s and has five miles of corridors
- It is in a state of disrepair and also suffering from subsidence caused by mining allowed in its vast grounds
- It's so big nobody knows how many rooms it has and works will take 15 years before visitors can arrived
