SUMMARY:A short history of buildings in six stones
DESCRIPTION:given by Dr. Tim Yates\, (Technical Director\, Building Research Establishment\, Garston.\n\nDoors open at 7:15pm\, tea & coffee available\, talk starts at 7:45pm.\n\nMany will be familiar with Neil MacGregor’s ‘A history of the world in 100 objects’ that retell humanity’s history through the objects we have made. This talk is on a much smaller scale with just six objects – all natural stones! But hopefully they will help us to see how our built heritage\, our built landscapes\, our towns\, cities and villages\, are shaped by the natural stones used in their construction.\nAlong the way we’ll look at the links to geography\, society\, technology\, and politics – and\, of course\, the geology of the rocks from which the stones were taken.\nWhy six stones? Well there’s no real reason but six felt about right in the time we have! And choice of the six – Caen Limestone\, Clunch\, Portland Limestone\, Welsh Slate\, York Sandstone\, and Aberdeen Granite – includes some of the most important building stones found in the UK but is also a personal choice that reflects my background and my work at Building Research Establishment for the last 37 years.

The outline schedule is as follows: \nSaturday morning \nDrive to the village of Blockley in the Cotswolds \nLunch (TBC) – The Great Western Arms \nSaturday afternoon \nNorthcot Brick Works to visit the Blockley Brickpit \n\n\n\n\nWe will be met by Dale Moss – Works manager. Lower Jurassic (Charmouth Formation) led by Dr. Jon Radley (Warwick Museum).\nThis is a very fossiliferous site and the WGCG made a video of a previous visit – view that here. \nIt will be muddy! \nSaturday evening \nFind your own overnight B&B accommodation in the Stratford on Avon\, Evesham and Warwick area. \n\n\n\n\nPossible dinner meet up \nSunday all day \nMeet with Dr. Stuart Burley (University of Keele) at Inkberrow\, followed by Henley in-Arden & the Grand Union canal to study the Triassic (Carnian) Arden Sandstone. A recent Geology Today article for this is available from Haydon if you’d like one. \nIf you’re interested in attending this trip\, then please notify Haydon as soon as possible at haydonbailey@outlook.com .
