St John's Gate
St John's Gate that you see here is largely what was rebuilt byt he Victorians, but some of the original building remains from 1500. Built as a priory for the Knights Hospitaller it has a fascinating and varied history, including being used by Wm Hogarth's dad as a tea house..... where everyone had to speak in Latin. Apparently, it didn't last long, I can't think why.

Yes Paulo and so characterisitc of the repsect for history of the world which ONLY GB supports, though I expect you have the "socialist-collective,mass people-SECULAR - completely absent God's Laws And Morality, we here, especially in the State of California, are experiencing.
Latin Is Not A Dead Language --- that wouldn't be possible, else most of the words, especially of forms of life as anatomy, physiology, neurology, chemistry couldn't be spoken, nor the logic that connects the relationships!!
