    This alms-house (low-income public housing they might say today?) was originally a chapel in Warwick, built in 1126 CE. It was used by trade guilds and then became an alms-house in 1571. It is still an alms-house today, almost 500 years later.

    It's also open to the public.

  3. One for #WindowFriday / #fensterfreitag - this photo is a happy memory from a trip out to a hostel in Connemara. This is Ross Errilly Friary - or what remains of this medieval #monastery - The birds flying overhead were actually there. I heard them rustling in the walls and waited.
