That's interesting - I've read that there are a lot of castles and stately houses whose demise started from the owners selling off the lead roof, but I never understood why it would be so valuable that you'd destroy the building for it. Is that why?
- prewett 3y agoQuite a number of British monastic churches and castles had their roofs sold off by Henry VIII, who was fully intending to destroy the building.
