The Kenilworth Barn Museum should be fully open every Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday afternoon from now until September.

But "legal problems" at Warwick District Council mean the local attraction still has no electrical connection.

Earlier this year, new cabling was approved to install a "more reliable power supply" to the grade I listed barn.

However, this is yet to be finished and so the museum cannot open.

"We are hoping the WDC lawyers will turn up very soon to finish the job," Kenilworth Historical and Archaeology Society volunteers said.

"But until they do, we will be here on those days to sell booklets and leaflets from the door and offer tours of the Abbey."
