A good judge of law maybe, but not of literature. Any of Austen's other novels would be would be more appropriate than Pride and Prejudice. It could have been worse I suppose - he might have told him to read Middlemarch.

Possibly.I didn't claim it to be anything more?I still think for £110m they could have just extended it more sympathetically!

I can't tell from that photo which bit is the extension... (and the other photo didn't render for me)

But the attraction of Willm is one of the things that allow people to know about the town and therefore consider visiting it.. There are plenty of other attractive towns around the country that noone would visit because noone knows about them.

Having that hook allows all sorts of excellent stuff to develop around it, until it can almost be self sustaining.

I particularly enjoy the MAD museum there.

It's also possible it would have been completely rebuilt by now had it not been for its famous resident.

Which of course is what Austen's editors often had to do.
