Abstract:		 This guide describes Berkshire’s local building stones in their geological context. It includes examples of buildings and structures where the stones have been used. Berkshire lies to the west of London. Its landscape and scenery vary from chalk downs in the north and west to lower-lying, gently undulating Palaeogene and younger strata in the south and east. The oldest rocks exposed at the surface belong, in large part, to the Upper Cretaceous Chalk Group, the upper parts of which (White Chalk Subgroup) contain much flint. This chalk outcrop slopes gently away to the south. It is mainly overlain by sands and clays of Tertiary age, which occur south of a line from Hungerford via Reading to Windsor, and younger superficial deposits of Quaternary age, which are widespread throughout the county.
