Not a lot of people know that.

The Cloisters c1908

On Thursday, our daily 'airing' took us into the neighbouring town of Letchworth Garden City to walk part of the Town Trail.

We began at a unique building - The Cloisters.  The towers remind me so much of Gormenghast. Since 1949 The Cloisters has been the North Hertfordshire Masonic Centre and houses the Provincial Grand Lodge of Hertfordshire.

From Gormenghast The Cloisters, we walked along unfamiliar streets in Letchworth, marvelling at the different styles of housing from the 'Pioneer Years'.
