Hi Horace, I remember Archie Thorburn well, Medford too. I visited the old place a couple of years ago which was a bit weird to say the least and found out that Patricks had in fact burned down and the Dining Hall had to be demolished before it fell down. Sadly the surrounding area which was all fields is now called the Cotswold Water Park.
