I would just like to clear some finer details up for the benefit of the future reader- Colin was not dettered by the council, but the quarry that was being built in close proximity to his sheep, and barn (he was not willing to put up with the lorrys passing through the same road as he moved his sheep). In fact, the council, to this day, do not have any worries about the ‘barn’. Colin was not officially (but in his own right) an artist, neither was he a stain glass artist; Colin was just a highly skilled stone wall builder and he bought the glass off a friend. Finally, at no point is there, or has there, been any rottweillers or security guards.

I do not know when you last went to the ‘barn’, but currently it is being used to store building materials by the quarry and believe it or not, old toilets!!

Thankyou for your time and effort to publicise this wonderfull place,

Your reader xx
