The physician can bury his mistakes, but the architect can only advise his clients to plant vines. - Frank Lloyd Wright, 1869 - 1959

Oh, wonderful! Now, that's what a building should look like!

And in St As, our MediƦval History Department (http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/academic/history/medhist/dept.shtml) was partly mediƦval. Some of it (St John's House) was a former Hospitaller property (and Templar before that!). Barrel-vaulted undercroft, & c.

Having medieval studies in a medieval building is particularly exciting! Most of my medieval studies in London were in Victoria buildings - except for the ones built since WWII. The compensation was that I got to live in Crosby Hall, which was at least Plantagenet/Tudor.

Amazing how many properties the Templars and Hospitallers owned.
