Beautiful early morning light bringing the Portland Stone to life at Ploegsteert Memorial to the missing this morning. After all the rain was a nice change. With @LegerBattleTour AQWF tour.

Portland stone received a huge boost following the Reformation when King James I sought to use British stone when he commissioned famed architect Inigo Jones to rebuild St Paul’s Cathedral. Read more about limestone here:

Super visit yesterday to @AlbionStone meeting their extraordinary teams and exploring the quarry where almost all @CWGC stone is sourced and then onto Portland Naval Cemetery- what a stunning place to rest in peace.

A temporary wood and plaster Cenotaph is hastily built and ready #OTD Jul 18 1919, one day before London Victory Parade. The public loved the memorial concept and it was replaced with the permanent structure made up of Portland stone that stands today https://t.co/4CTUisdCsE

This double sided candlepiece has been carved to celebrate the solstice.
The ancient Portland stone has seen many solstices and equinoxes.
It has been painted with earth pigments made into ink.
They are 220,000 to 350 million years old. #timepiece

Used the @CWGC app and spotted the small green sign when in Hadlow Down earlier. Alongside three ‘traditional’ Portland stone headstones were these private memorials. Got to say they’re some of the most unique and detailed I’ve ever seen. #WW1
