Purbeck Marble

We visited Salisbury Cathedral, a beautiful place and it was good to be reminded of the places where Purbeck marble was used in abundance. The guide told us it came from Worth Matravers but it could just as well be Acton. Whatever it makes the picture whole thinking even about the 3 quarry heads that are on Tom's Field, not used or visible of course but a reminder of the great quarrying past and present, see the picture on the Flikr photostream
