KimMei Ng sent this to us via Facebook and we thought we should share this photo with BBGSians who do not have a Facebook account yet...
Residence of the Tower of London's chaplain. Above the door is the phrase Nisi Dominus Frustra - 'Without God All Is In Vain' which was also my school's (BBGS) motto - KimMei Ng

THE ORIGIN OFNISI DOMINUS FRUSTRA
Nisi Dominus aedificaverit domum in vanum laboraverunt qui aedificant eam nisi Dominus custodierit civitatem frustra vigilavit qui custodit.
Unless the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it. Unless the Lord keep the city, he watcheth in vain that keepeth it.
