Abstract

Many have drawn attention to the relationship which can be established between the building stone fabric of English villages and towns and a simple map of the geology of England. The book The Pattern of English Building by Alec Clifton-Taylor (1962) can be credited with probably the clearest statement of this idea. It remains, however, to be treated in a more detailed approach, recording the geological subtleties which geologists would recognize in a local investigation. This could, indeed should, be a challenge to be taken up by regional societies and especially by GA Local Groups. ‘If you seek a task worth doing, wherever you live, look about you!’ *
