victorian floor tiling
The Victorian restoration was the widespread and extensive refurbishment and rebuilding of Church of England churches and cathedrals that took place in England and Wales during the 19th-century reign of Queen Victoria. It was not the same process as is understood today by the term building restoration.
Against a background of poorly maintained church buildings, a reaction against the Puritan ethic manifested in the Gothic Revival, and a shortage of churches where they were needed in cities, the Cambridge Camden Society and the Oxford Movement advocated a return to a more medieval attitude to churchgoing. The change was embraced by the Church of England which saw it as a means of reversing the decline in church attendance.
The principle was to "restore" a church to how it might have looked during the "Decorated" style of architecture which existed between 1260 and 1360, and many famous architects such as George Gilbert Scott and Ewan Christian enthusiastically accepted commissions for restorations. It is estimated that around 80% of all Church of England churches were affected in some way by the movement, varying from minor changes to complete demolition and rebuilding.
Influential people like John Ruskin and William Morris were opposed to such large-scale restoration, and their activities eventually led to the formation of societies dedicated to building preservation, such as the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings. In retrospect, the period of Victorian restoration has been viewed in a generally unfavourable light.

So I poured the concrete path to my house and surprise surprise, the thing isn't square. It's 10 metres long and about 40mm out, which when laying geometric tiles will look like it's country mile off. i spent so much time getting everything right and then messed it up, how do i rectify this...
the front facade of my house and my front wall aren't exactly parallel, im busy with the formwork to pour the concrete slab ready for victorian, geometric tiles. i'd like to know if i square the tiles with the house or the front wall.
I'm pouring a reinforced concrete slab pathway to my front door which i want to tile with victorian mosaic tiles. the path will be 10m x 1m. i've been told to cut expansion/control joints every 2.5 metres. if i do that, do i fill these joints with screed and tile over them?
any advice
I'm looking for this tile size 150 x 750mm. It's an original Edwardian/Victorian glazed tile in a browny colour. The tiles are from the porch area just outside the front door - the area where the Victorians used to put pretty tile patterns up to about hip height. I am missing three of these...
