    Somerset Geology-A Good Rock Guide

    SOMERSET GEOLOGY-A GOOD ROCK GUIDE Hugh Prudden The great unconformity figured by De la Beche WELCOME TO SOMERSET Welcome to green fields, wild flower meadows, farm cider, Cheddar cheese, picturesque villages, wild moorland, peat moors, a spectacular coastline, quiet country lanes…… To which we can add a wealth of geological features. The gorge and caves at Cheddar are well-known. Further east near Frome there are Silurian volcanics, Carboniferous Limestone outcrops, Variscan thrust tectonics, Permo-Triassic conglomerates, sediment-filled fissures, a classic unconformity, Jurassic clays and limestones, Cretaceous Greensand and Chalk topped with Tertiary remnants including sarsen stones-a veritable geological park! Elsewhere in Mendip are reminders of coal and lead mining both in the field and museums. Today the Mendips are a major source of aggregates. The Mesozoic formations curve in an arc through southwest and southeast Somerset creating vales and escarpments that define the landscape and clearly have influenced the patterns of soils, land use and settlement as at Porlock. The church building stones mark the outcrops. Wilder country can be found in the Quantocks, Brendon Hills and Exmoor which are underlain by rocks of Devonian age and within which lie sunken blocks (half-grabens) containing Permo-Triassic sediments. The coastline contains exposures of Devonian sediments and tectonics west of Minehead adjoining the classic exposures of Mesozoic sediments and structural features which extend eastward to the Parrett estuary. The predominance of wave energy from the west and the large tidal range of the Bristol Channel has resulted in rapid cliff erosion and longshore drift to the east where there is a full suite of accretionary landforms: sandy beaches, storm ridges, salt marsh, and sand dunes popular with summer visitors.

Most of the stone consolidants currently available are well suited to silicate stones, but are less compatible with limestone. In this paper we present for the first time the results over a 4-year period of various consolidation treatments carried out using nanolime on 6 of the most representative and significant stones used in historic buildings in the United Kingdom. Tests investigated the influence of stone type, environmental conditions and pre-treatments on the effectiveness of the consolidation treatment. A comprehensive and rigorous testing programme was carried out to evaluate the short (12 weeks) and longer-term (4 years) effects. Stone samples were characterised before and after treatment using light and electron microscopy, sorptivity tests and a novel methodology employing drilling resistance to interrogate the near surface effects.

Academic Editor: Carlos Alves Received: 28 December 2015; Accepted: 19 February 2016; Published: 24 February 2016 Abstract: Natural stone is required for maintenance and repair of historically, archaeologically and culturally important structures to prevent deterioration due to weathering and use. Those that have national or World Heritage significance are historically and culturally important. Sometimes, severely damaged buildings may require extensive or complete restoration. The choice of stone should be appropriate in physical and aesthetic terms, ideally from the original source. Researchers, architects, those who specify contracts and other stakeholders need reliable information, but access to, and awareness of, important sources such as manuscripts, publications and collections of samples is often limited. Easier access to information is needed when planning and commissioning works that require the replacement of stone. Making important information more widely available and promoting awareness of the need to maintain adequate supplies of natural stone of suitable quality is a task for both national and international organizations including the Heritage Stone Task Group of IUGS and IAEG. This paper provides some illustrative examples and pointers towards some recent major publications, as well as describing current Heritage Stone Resource and European Union initiatives, all the while requesting further participation from colleagues in this field.
  • Domestic 3: Suburban and Country Houses Listing Selection Guide Summary

    Domestic 3: Suburban and Country Houses Listing Selection Guide Summary

    Domestic 3: Suburban and Country Houses Listing Selection Guide Summary Historic England’s twenty listing selection guides help to define which historic buildings are likely to meet the relevant tests for national designation and be included on the National Heritage List for England. Listing has been in place since 1947 and operates under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. If a building is felt to meet the necessary standards, it is added to the List. This decision is taken by the Government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). These selection guides were originally produced by English Heritage in 2011: slightly revised versions are now being published by its successor body, Historic England. The DCMS‘ Principles of Selection for Listing Buildings set out the over-arching criteria of special architectural or historic interest required for listing and the guides provide more detail of relevant considerations for determining such interest for particular building types. See https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/principles-of- selection-for-listing-buildings. Each guide falls into two halves. The first defines the types of structures included in it, before going on to give a brisk overview of their characteristics and how these developed through time, with notice of the main architects and representative examples of buildings. The second half of the guide sets out the particular tests in terms of its architectural or historic interest a building has to meet if it is to be listed. A select bibliography gives suggestions for further reading. This guide, one of four on different types of Domestic Buildings, covers suburban and country houses.

    BİZANS MİRASI MİMARLIK VE SANAT Genco Berkin1

    IJSHS, 2018; 2 (2): 53-64 53 BİZANS MİRASI MİMARLIK VE SANAT Genco Berkin1 ÖZET Bizans mimarisi, yapı, ikon ve mozaik sanatları açısından çok zengindir. Bizans mimarisi başta Avrupa ve Amerika olmak üzere birçok yapıya esin kaynağı olmuştur. Bu yüzden üzerinde daha fazla araştırma yapılması gerekmektedir. Bizans mimarisi ve sanatı yeni bir akım olan Neo-Bizans akımını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bizans mimarisi 15. Ve 19. Yüzyılda Avrupa mimarisini derinden etkilemiştir. Bizans mimarisinin Doğu ve Batı kültürlerinin gelişmesi ve ilerlemesi üzerinde büyük katkısı olmuştur. Bu çalışmada geçmiş ve bugünün Doğu-Batı mimari etkileşimleri karşılıklı olarak irdelenmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Bizans Mimarisi, Bizans Mozaikleri, Neo Bizans Akımı THE LEGACY OF BYZANTINE ARCHITECTURE AND ART ABSTRACT Byzantine architecture is extraordinarily rich in terms of the buildings, iconography and mosaics that have survived in the course of two millennia. Byzantine architecture and art was overlooked for a long period. Byzantine influence on architecture and art has widespread through Europe and America. Byzantine influence on several professions consisted of architecture, paintings, poetry, decorations and jewelry. Byzantine architecture and art was so spectacular that in the following eras it whether created a revival or became the spring of Neo- Byzantine style. Byzantine architecture had impressions on European Architecture from 15th century to 19th century. Byzantine Empire has served as a bridge of cultural transportation between East and West civilizations
