    Exceptional detail, thanks. I agree, the video does paint it as a number of sacrilegious restorations, whereas each would have been undertaken to maintain as much original character and position as possible.

    By ‘original’ position I meant taking fine triangulating measurements between untouched stones, and then replacing at the same angle and position. ie. It would be interesting to find out if there were historians or engineers making the lead decisions.

    I honestly was only focussing on the TIL part of there being any changes/restoration at all over time, and can agree it now looks better than a pile of rubble.
