The city is on the southern edge of the South Downs, a pronounced upland area extending from Salisbury Plain in the west to Beachy Head in the east (Figs. 1 & 2). The bedrock of the Downs is the Upper Cretaceous Chalk (Fig. 3), a soft friable limestone unsuited for major building work, despite forming impressive cliffs along the Sussex coast to the east of Brighton.

  • Finding Stone
    CLARA WILLETT and CHRIS WOOD Finding stone Historic England’s Strategic Stone Study’s county-by-county, nationwide survey identifies building stones used, and maps their sources and representative buildings and structures. Totternhoe Quarry, Bedfordshire. Stone, locally known as clunch, has been mined and quarried here for centuries.This important building stone can be found in historic buildings within the county and beyond. (Photo: Clara Willett, © Historic England) Sourcing the right stone to conserve historic buildings can be extremely challenging. Lack of an appropriate supply is not only a matter of aesthetics but also of technical compatibility, because any new replacement stone should match the original in its mineral composi­ tion and physical properties, in particular its porosity and permeability.An inappropriate new stone can accelerate the decay of the older adjacent stone and is likely to weather differentially. In addition, many new buildings and extensions, particularly those in conservation areas, will have to be constructed using materials matching those of the buildings around them. The rich diversity of England’s geology means that thousands of different stones have been used over the centuries for building. But until now accurate information on the original quarries, and the number Selecting replacement stone and distribution of buildings constructed from these that is less permeable than stones, has been elusive. the original can exacerbate The Symonds Report Planning for the Supply of Natural deterioration of the original.

  • A Building Stone Atlas of Oxfordshire
    Strategic Stone Study A Building Stone Atlas of Oxfordshire First published by English Heritage March 2011 Rebranded by Historic England December 2017 Introduction The oldest rocks in Oxfordshire crop out in the north of the county and are of Lower Jurassic age, around 200 million years old. Younger Jurassic and Cretaceous formations progressively crop out towards the south. The harder limestone and chalk lithologies form escarpments, whilst clay underlies the intervening vales. The character of Oxfordshire’s stone buildings is very much determined by the nature of the local stone, which leads to a fascinating variation of styles across the county. With the exception of the Jurassic ooidal freestone quarried around Taynton, few building stones were of sufficient quality to be used much beyond their immediate source area. Now only a handful of building stone quarries are still active in the county, supplying Marlstone and the Chipping Norton Limestone. Unfortunately the other building stones described in the following pages are no longer available from working local quarries. The following summary of the principal local building stones is based largely on Arkell’s work, Oxford Stone and The Geology of Oxford, and Powell’s recent Geology of Oxfordshire. The oldest stones are described first, progressing towards the stratigraphically youngest to the south.

  • Materials Essay: Ely, Cambridgeshire
    AA - Postgraduate Diploma: Conservation of Historic Buildings Ely Cathedral – The embodiment of mediaeval building in Cambridgeshire Materials Essay: Ely, Cambridgeshire Year 1 Term 1 Michael Fielding Garber Cambridgeshire is not known for high-quality building materials. As Pevsner wryly remarks in his Buildings of England series, “Cambridgeshire must be regarded as among the least fortunate of the English counties. There is any amount of clay for brickmaking, but no good stone, and in the Isle of Ely there was a timber shortage of wood before the end of the C16.”(Pevsner 1977, p.289). Ely, which sits on a bed of greensand – a soft brownish stone (Maddison 2000, p.16) – is no exception. It is surrounded (as can be seen in Figure 1) by clay, and then the large swathes of peat for which the Fens are renowned. To the south-east lies a band of chalk – known locally as clunch – which straddles the southern half of the county. Building in Ely would therefore not only be influenced by the local geology, but also the opportunities presented by the fenland waterways to transport much-needed materials from further afield. 1 AA - Postgraduate Diploma: Conservation of Historic Buildings Materials Essay: Ely, Cambridgeshire – Year I, Term 1 Michael Fielding Garber Ely Figure 1 – The Geology of Cambridgeshire 2 AA - Postgraduate Diploma: Conservation of Historic Buildings Materials Essay: Ely, Cambridgeshire – Year I, Term 1 Michael Fielding Garber Local Building Materials Whilst the greenstone outcrop upon which Ely rises over the surrounding fenland landscape was used locally, it is clunch which is more well-known.

  • 1 Sourcing Stone for the Conservation and Repair of the Buildings
    Sourcing stone for the conservation and repair of the buildings and monuments of Britain Graham Lott Abstract Stone for the construction of buildings and monuments has been locally quarried from most parts of Britain’s lithologically diverse geological succession for the last 3500 yrs. Each part of the geological column, from the Precambrian to Quaternary, has yielded stone for building providing a colourful palette of stones for Britain’s stone architecture and monuments. For those involved in conserving these structures this diversity of stone types has itself become an increasing problem as many of the original quarries have long since stopped working and the stones disappeared from the marketplace. This lack of an adequate range of indigenous stones suitable for conservation repair and for sympathetic new build projects is an ongoing concern for heritage organisations, property owners and developers in Britain. There are a number of ways in which this problem is being addressed. It is clearly important to demonstrate the scale of the problem by collating sufficient information to identify those stones (and therefore those stone structures) most under threat. While some vernacular stones were used widely others often only appear in a small number of buildings. A national database of all indigenous stone sources used and an assessment of their extent of use is therefore essential. Subsequent analysis of the data gathered will then allow the identification of those stones which are of critical concern and which might then generate sufficient interest and economic potential for quarry operators to consider re‐opening sites for new stone production. This review is an attempt to give an overview of the former extent of the building stone resources of Britain to illustrate the extent of the current problems of stone supply.

  • Guildford and Hogs Back Geowalk, Surrey
    GUILDFORD AND HOGS BACK GEOWALK, SURREY (embellished from a Geowalk established by Brian Harvey in April 2002) This circular walk is about 7 miles (11 kilometres) and looks at the relationship between geology, topography, land use, building stones, industry etc. This is a particularly beautiful and interesting area, and the geology will be suitable for any level of expertise from beginner to expert. There is a pub, the Harrow, about half way round at Compton. The walk starts and finishes at Mill Mead in Guildford town centre, located beside the River Wey and opposite the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre. Cars can be parked in the Mill Mead car park, map ref. SU 9950 4918 (44 spaces; free on Sundays only – 2011), or the nearby Portsmouth Road car park north of St Nicolas church (98 spaces; charges in 2011: Saturday £1.10/hour, Sunday £2.50 all day). Alternative parking is available in the Millbrook car park (from there walk down to the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre and cross the river by the footbridge). Mill Mead is within easy walking distance south of Guildford railway station. The route follows footpaths and tracks, some of which may be muddy, and there are a few hills to climb. Boots or walking shoes and a reasonable level of fitness are advisable. Starting in the Mill Mead car park, cross the (white) footbridge and then turn right to take the gravelled footpath that runs between the River Wey on the right and the Wey Navigation canal on the left. Stop 1 The canal lock on the Wey Navigation This canal was one of the earliest in the country, having joined Godalming to the Thames in 1653.
