A Grade-I listed manor house destroyed in a devastating fire is to be turned into a Batman-themed 'adventure wonderland', according to its new owner. James Perkins bought Parnham House, a 16th century Elizabethan manor near Beaminster, Dorset, for L2.5 million last March, three years after the huge fire. Mr Perkins, the former head of rave scene promoter Fantazia and a restorer of historic houses, says he has 'unbelievable ideas' for the 38,000 sq ft derelict property.
