Claim: Westholme House was occupied by the clergy during the Second World War then Kesteven County Council acquired the property  and never allowed the public at the house by 1949.
Evidence: Westholme House is a historic building in the English market town of Sleaford in Lincolnshire, set in 32 acres of parkland and school grounds. Built around 1849 in the style of a French Gothic mansion by Charles Kirk for his business partner Thomas Parry, it was privately owned until the 1940s, when Kesteven County Council acquired the house and its grounds. It subsequently served as the county library and part of Sleaford Secondary Modern School (later St George's Academy). Kesteven County Council had acquired the property and its parkland by 1945 and proposed to use it for educational purposes. Westholme was occupied by the military during the Second World War.
