Burn the Heretic

You can't say it doesn't look smart though, pity it's a Church really, imagine it as an RV Venue

I remember the first time i saw that. It was quite impressive, specially taking in consideration when it was built.

This picure is also a lot better than one i took.

Heheh, I know you come from an old country really (Portugal) but that's almost exactly what all the Americans say when they walk around Oxford

And in St Albans we have this (for perspective - that's about 12 feet high and it's 5 feet thick):

Just sticking up out of the ground in the municipal park. You can have a picnic leaning on it if you want to. It's just shy of 2000 years old and is only battered because over the centuries people nicked the stone to build smaller walls and stuff.

That's why the Colosseum (Vespasian's Forum, b. 1st century AD) in Rome looks so tatty - not the ravages of time but the unscrupulous mediaeval stonemasons and builders who kept swiping bits. Right up to the mid-19th century IIRC.

I can confirm that he's a lovely chap to have as a house-guest too...
