ObjectionThe other are to be plastic and make little attempt to replicate those remaining of original character.; We consider this un-acceptable and regret the notion of spoiling half of the work when the right approach has been adopted for the other half.; Don't-spoil-the-ship-for-a-hapoth-of-tar, as the saying goes.; The Society therefore OBJECTS because this is a landmark property on an important countryside route much frequented by visitors.
