Further Information: |
This quarry was named 'Old Quarry Copse' at the beginning of the 19th cetnury and most of it has now been obliterated by the modern Chicksgrove Quarry. As it happens this quarry is the sole supplier of new stone for Salisbury Cathedral, though only the hardest stone, from the highest beds in the quarry is now used (Tatton-Brown 1993: 41). |
