I and Steve Gray offered to buy it from them, they agreed in principle but we decided transport and storage would be too much. Frankly it was a huge mistake as it would have been a massive money spinner. You'll remember how fantastic it was inside.

In the end a local authority (I think) bought it and stored it in a field till it deteriorated. A real loss.


Gah! Yeah, right! I remember seeing the level of detail and craftsmanship that went into each stone. That'll never happen again! Or maybe it will - how big can you make a 3D printer? ;)
