Parking meters have been installed in Ripley Castle Car Park.

The large car park, situated on the edge of the village, has been free until now but is set to start charging at around Easter time.

The meters remain covered at the moment so it is unclear how much the charge will be.

The meters have not been activated yet.



The car park is part of the estate owned by Ripley Castle owner Sir Thomas Ingilby and his wife Lady Emma.

Mike Gosling, the estate's business manager, said in an email he was currently overseas on annual leave and would provide full details later. He said:

"There has been dialogue with relevant businesses, the school PTA, the church, the Friends of Ripley and the local council. I have made myself available to answer all of their questions.
"On my return, I will be confirming prices etc and a date for charges to start (approximately Easter)."
