No it's still there.
Should really have some sort of render on it to protect the stone. It used to be pebbledashed but a lorry backed into the corner and knocked the whole lot off. We also picked the 1987 storm to redo the roof.

IIRC, a lot of church towers are described as having 'rubble-filled' walls.

It's hard working dressing stone, so makes sense to do as little as possible.

More stuff going on the cob to hold it in place. First thing this morning was making wooden wedges to hammer into the cob into which he could hammer the studs to hold the mesh in place. He's hoping to put some hessian on tomorrow. Plus a wooden lintel above the door, which, having scraped of black rotten stuff is as hard as nails, even if rather bowed on the outside. Just need to get the new door installed without it falling down once the old door & rotten frame is removed. Fascinating to watch the methods and progress.

I was expecting the UK to be worse. Is there a graph with just Cambridge on it?

Not housing related but a big planning decision was issued today by the High Court ruling that an application for oil extraction in Surrey was unlawfully granted as it failed to consider the downstream emissions from burning the oil in the environmental assessment of the scheme.

Just been looking at the plans for the redevelopment of Bromley-by-Bow gasworks. Another example of how you can get high density urban development (looks like over 200 units per hectare plus community facilities) whilst also creating a pleasant inner city place to live. 80% will be accessible to the public and they are refurbishing the 7 listed gas holders which will form an integral part of the scheme with the new tower blocks being designed on a similar footprint. Personally I don't see the point in protecting 7 rusting gas holders but they seem to be doing it without losing development land.
