	Greensand - LoveToKnow 1911
		The Hythe beds are interstratified thin limestones and sandstones; the former are bluish-grey in colour, compact and hard, with a certain amount of quartz and glauconite.
		The sandy portions are very variable; the stone is often clayey and calcareous and rarely hard enough to make a good building stone; locally it is called "hassock" (or Calkstone).
		The two stones are well exposed in the Iguanodon Quarry near Maidstone (so called from the discovery of the bones of that reptile).

	Pelobates - Issue 45 - Further Light on the Gatton and Guildford Stone Quarries in the 16th Century - Croydon Caving ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		This Guildford stone, or hard chalk, appears to have found use in and around Guildford, as well as in London, as an alternative for carved work to Reigate stone from the east of Guildford, or the similar Farnham malmstone (also from the Upper Greenasnd) from further west.
		Two consignments of stone were brought to Loseley the considerable and awkward overland journey from Gatton, at rates for carriage of 6s4d and 6s3d per load.
		Twenty loads of such second-hand stone were already to hand from the demolished remains of the earlier Loselcy House, and the ruins of Waverley Abbey, at Farnham, clearly constituted an important secondary 'quarry' - at least 80 or 90 loads being "dug out of the rubbish" between 1561 and 1569.

	Bargate stone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bargate is to be found in many buildings in this part of Surrey, where it has been used for the best part of 1,000 years.
		The same stone was used in Godalming Parish Church, which dates back to Saxon times.
		Bargate is rarely used today, although the medieval quarries can still be seen in Godalming, at the foot of Holloway Hill.

		Southampton had no stone in the local area that was suitable for building the town walls, and so all the limestone needed was brought over from Bembridge and Quarr on the Isle of Wight.
		On the south side of the Bargate are three archways, a statue of George III dressed as the Roman Emperor Hadrian, made in 1809, and a sundial from 1705.
		Inside the Bargate can be found the remains of a cell, as the Bargate's hall was used as a courtroom, until the Magistrate's Court at the Civic Centre was built.

	Sandstone - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Deposition from sand dunes can recognized by irregular and fluidly shaped weathering patterns and wavey coloration lines when sectioned, while water deposition will form more regular blocks when weathered.
		The regularity of the latter favors use as a source for use in masonry, either as a primary building material or as a facing stone over other construction.
		The environment of deposition is crucial in determining the characteristics of the resulting sandstone, which on a finer scale include its grain size, sorting, composition and on a larger scale include the rock geometry and sedimentary structures.

		Pearson’s cathedral at Truro, built of Bath stone and local Mabe granite, was being completed by his son, and work was about to start on the new Anglican Cathedral of Liverpool, designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott and to be built in local sandstone.
		As all those who have been involved with building stones will attest, there can be major differences between a stone straight from the quarry and the same material after a period of time in a building.
		For the first time architects and others were shown that stone is subject to all sorts of harmful mechanisms, from lichens, to frost, to heat, to pollution, and even to polishing ‘where loafers congregate and sun themselves’.

		Bargate stone has been quarried in Surrey since the twelfth century, most quarries were around Godalming and Hascombe where early sources term it as "Burgate" thus relating to Burgate House in Hascombe.
		The stone was widely used around the Godalming and Guildford areas and was favoured because it was a highly durable stone.
		In building terms, this coincided with the appearance of construction joints, damage to old masonry or soft stones due to the hardess of cement mortars.

	5-7 Holloway Hill, Godalming, Surrey
		A 17th century extension to the south end retained its Bargatc stone walls (the local stone) but its original form is unknown.
		The house originally had a central rear stack, which was then rebuilt slightly later in the 17th century using the same foundations, possibly because the original stack suffered from some structural weakness.
		The greatest change in the house occurred in the mid-l9th century when the original front wall was removed and replaced with dressed Bargate stone, whilst the interior was divided, extra chimneys and ourshots were added to form two cottages and the original staircase was removed.
