However, the beauty of the stone mason's artistry (almost a lost art) still amazes me.
I was a bricklayer for nine (9) years after I finished my education, when my educational degree didn't pay as much as manual labour.
And just to be clear for every "real" stone mason out there, please note that I said I was a bricklayer and not a "stone mason". There is a huge difference.
It would be like comparing Leonardo da Vinci to a house painter. Are they both painters, ... yes but on a different level.

Started in 1886, and finished eight years later, the total cost of construction was £1,184,000 during that time period.
Which coverts to "I couldn't possibly afford it" in today's money whether British Pounds Sterling or otherwise.
