Did I not post my pictures from the walled gardens?

After the greenhouses and gates.... there isnt a whole lot to see. Fence on one side, wall on the other and filled with weeds and a few trees

At some point last night, 11th of July, 2009, parts of St Peters Seminary was set on fire. The fire brigade could not attend due to no access caused by a fallen tree and it was allowed to burn out.
When I got there this morning, most of the remaining roof above the alter was burnt and lying on the ground while some parts were still burning. The high alter is totally destroyed with at least a 3rd of it snapped off (I couldnt get close enough to survey the damage.
It gets worse! The teaching block had also been torched and is now totally gutted allowing a view right through it. It was also still smouldering in the middle. The resident barn owl was spotted flying safely further down the estate at least.
I'll get the pictures up as soon as I can but I'll warn seminary fans, it is not a pretty spectacle.

No way! I've been searching the news but there doesn't seem to be anything about it. From what you've said it seems they've done a pretty good job on it though

I took another trip there today and someone has pitched a tent inside the seminary on the ground floor
