Cadeby Top Bed - Chainsaw

Here we have Cadeby Top Bed in the finish you see in the quarry face. The rawest and most striking finish. The chainsaw cut leaves its mark and creates defects and lumps and bumps out of the finished face on its way through. Cadeby limestones have been used for building in the since Roman times and there is ample evidence of its use in villas and forts from the many Roman sites along its outcrop and is now commonly used in new build and conservation work. This quarry has been an important producer of building stone for some considerable time and is well-known and are mentioned in the Victoria History of the Counties of England.
