Hmmm...
Nice build, good overall design.Seems to me that EH could have done something with the building themselves but nope-they allowed it to crumble. Have to say that if short bald architect-type blokey had bothered to plan well in advance-he would have halved his problems.Waltzing into a project of that complexity armed with just a set of plans is asking for trouble.On the archaeology front-I thought it was arrogant of the programme to portray us as the bad guys.He may own the land but he has a duty to the heritage aspect of the site. As an aside, would someone be kind enough to point out (to the lady archaeologist) that when machine watching-a hi-viz is a prerequisite-particularly on the telly! I think the stars of the programme were the stonemasons-astonishing job! Overall, waving 400 grand about and then moaning about duties to national heritage issues and having to pay an archaeologist induced puke on my part but...a stunning rebuild.Put EH to shame really.
