Title

Raw and lithology-sorted data for building stones in Cambridgeshire churches

Abstract

Raw and lithology-sorted data on building stone in about 125 churches in South Cambridgeshire. Each line on the sheets is one dated project of building or repair. The Key tab explains the various abbreviations on the sheet, and the nature of the data on each sheet. The data are the basis for a paper on "The choice of local or imported building stone in English medieval churches; a south Cambridgeshire case study" by N H Woodcock submitted to Geoheritage in June 2024"

The creator recorded building stone information for each component of each part of each one of 125 churches on scaled plans of the church. A detailed photographic record of every elevation of the church was made. The observations were interpreted in terms of discrete building or repair projects, then each project was entered as one row on the spreadsheet.
