We are a small group of amateur and retired professional
geologists who are investigating, publicising, celebrating and archiving
information about the Building Stones used in Dorset's historic churches and
some secular buildings. This website was created in 2016 and has been steadily
populated ever since.
The Geology part includes descriptions of twenty Dorset
building stones and twelve Non-Dorset ones, plus a dozen Dorset quarries &
pits. Sixty-five churches are described as well as a dozen secular buildings.
The site has already attracted several queries from geologists, historians, architects
and masons and led to some useful contacts.
