“I’m delighted to support the efforts of the Dorset Hall Group together with their partners to save and restore such an important house in Merton Park.
“This house has a rich history, as it was lived in by Rose Lamartine Yates, the suffragette and social rights campaigner.
“It’s sad that the house has been left neglected for so many years and it is time the house was sympathetically restored and no longer forgotten.”
– Councillor Edward Foley, Independent Councillor for Merton Park Ward Residents
