Any nation with a history as old as that of the United Kingdom is going to collect its fair share of ruins. After all, if you don't take active care of a building, it will eventually crumble and return to nature, and the expense and complexity of maintenance only increase the older the building becomes. If you can't afford to keep it up, sometimes the best thing to do is simply give it up! 

Of course, not all ruins are created in this way. Sometimes they're the result of war or a vengeful monarch or they're simply caused by someone forgetting to snuff out their candle before falling asleep and knocking it over onto a curtain. Still, sometimes ruins come back from the brink of being swallowed up by nature — but you wouldn't want to live in any old ruin, even if it were spruced up.

Fortunately, this quiz is here to help you figure out which British ruin you should conquer and restore. We believe you can breath new life into an old building and put your own modern spin on it. So, tell us a little about yourself, and we'll find you the perfect fixer-upper in this quiz!
