Abstract: |
This guide describes East Sussex's local building stones in their geological context. It includes examples of buildings and structures where the stones have been used. Historically, East Sussex has produced and used a wide range of indigenous building stones, although no sources are currently worked. This is, in large
part, a reflection of the solid geology of the area, which can conveniently be considered in four parts, each with its own distinct landscape and character: the High Weald, the Low Weald, the chalk South Downs, and the floodplains, coastal marshes and beaches. The overall geological structure of East Sussex is one of a broad dome, which trends east to west and reaches its highest point in Ashdown Forest, in the northern part of the county. |
