Letter: Royal reparations

Sir: Often, when I have been visiting ruined monasteries and abbeys, I have thought how interesting it would be to see at least one of these buildings restored to its original glory.

In view of Prince Charles's comments ("Prince wants lottery cash to build mosques", 25 January), would such a restoration be a suitable project for the Millennium? After all, it was his ancestor who initiated their destruction.

Yours faithfully,
