Ownership
During the 1970s, Tyringham Hall was the headquarters of the General Osteopathic Council of the UK(needs edit - this is not true as the GOsC was only set up in 2001 as a statutory regulatory body by The Osteopaths Act, an act of Parliament. Before this the General Council and Register of Osteopaths was the main registering body). In 2001 Tyringham Hall was purchased by real estate heir Anton Bilton (grandson of prefabricated housing tycoon Percy Bilton) and his wife Lisa Barbuscia-Bilton. Since 2004 they have invested around £10 million in renovating Tyringham Hall. The house was put up for sale in May 2013 with an asking price of £18 million.References
