labelled as at risk, after the lead was stolen in 20 0. | :04:01. | :04:11. | |
All the massive industrial stuff going on in the south west... | :04:12. | :04:35. | |
To be added to our at risk register, it shows that they are | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
important, but we knowledge that the owners might need some help and | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
support in doing what needs to be done to insure that they ard | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
protected for the future generations. | :04:44. | :04:45. | |

and the precinct walls at Llanthony Abbey in Gloucestdrshire. | :05:01. | :05:02. | |

the unique architecture or simply historical significance. | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
