I once visited a stately home where they had bricked up the windows originally when London was infected by the ghastly black death! The windows faced towards London, I imagine to reduce the chances of infection, the view probably wasn't too pleasant either though! They never actually knocked the brickwork out afterwards, I imagine with the taxation on windows - they saved a few quid too!
