Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Within the London Basin a large number of ecclesiastical buildings incorporate in their monumental, or internal or external structure, Viviparus limestone (approaching 100% of the fossil ViviparusJ, generally in the form of ‘Purbeck Marble’. Much of the material today appears as re-used blocks in external church walls. The geographical distribution of these churches is illustrated and examined. This distribution, together with the expense of quarrying, polishing and the transportation of the ornamental limestone, suggest that, at least for the period of its first utilisation, the churches containing the material were particularly financially well-endowed, with respect to comparable churches of similar size. | ||
