Exeter Volcanic Quarry, Back After 118 Years

Field notes

The homepage combines product information with a geological and architectural account of the material. It describes a slow-cooled volcanic stone that can be cut for carved surrounds and coats of arms, or supplied as rubble and block for walls and hedgebanks. The page also gives the stone a local historical footprint, naming Exeter’s Roman city wall, Exe Bridge, Cathedral Close, and buildings in Hatherleigh, Crediton, Tiverton, and Wellington.
