RE: Old architecture: St John the Baptist, Croydon
Yes, now all the thoughts of builders are aimed at using materials that, in their opinion, retain heat, but when walls made of such materials crumble under the weight... for example, under the weight of the roof rafter system, then nothing will stop the heat from escaping, and in the end, no walls, no heat, but here, the walls of this castle look warm even in cold colors :)
Often, when I see old buildings here and then the new just build not longer than a decade ago you can see how bad quality of materials and work we have now. It is a shame with such opportunities of equipments and materials it should be better than in the past but I believe everything ends up with saving as much money as possible. I love that combination of colours :)
