London's Tower Bridge will undergo the first restoration in its history, hopefully in time for the 2012 Olympics, thanks to a City trust that has its origins in a group of medieval monks. The brothers collected a toll from every Londoner who wanted to cross the original London Bridge; the funds were placed in a trust that had as its primary purpose the maintenance of city bridges. Today the trust is worth 700 million. Find out more about the restoration in the article by Aislinn Simpson at the Telegraph.

Stained glass windows that had disappeared from a 13th-century church have been returned and restored to their former glory. The images include "Three Figures From The Crucifixion" and "The Crucified Christ," which had been acquired by the Getty Museum before their provenance was known.
