Following the death of his parents #JamesGibbs travelled through Europe & in 1703, registered as a student at #TheScotsCollege in Rome; a seminary into the priesthood for the dioceses of the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland. But he had second thoughts & by the end of 1704 he was studying Architecture & moved to London in November 1708. #StMaryLeStrand #JewelintheStrand
