Abstract:		 Monograph examining, primarily from a geological perspective, the distribution and use of indigenous construction materials -- carrstone especially but also its competitors together with brick -- in the hamlets, villages and towns of north and west Norfolk, over a wide range of periods (Roman to modern) and kinds of building (cottages, farms, great houses, religious, public/community, and official structures). Settlements of the area were either sampled or examined in full in order to establish the whereabouts, character and date of buildings in indigenous stone, as well as the relative abundance of different stone types. Building dates show that big carr, the most versatile form of carrstone, has been treated by builders in different ways at different but overlapping periods. The use of differently coloured bricks for dressing was also found to be sensitive to period. Most use of indigenous building stone appears to have occurred within several kilometres of the quarries or pits; however Leziate quartzite and big carr appear to have been assigned a high place-value by some builders, with the aid of cheap or effective transport networks. The study considers changes in economic and social factors in relation to the choice of construction materials. The qualities and uses of the different indigenous stones in a variety of building types and locations are discussed, and particularly the use of carrstone for prestigious and public buildings and on estates.
