Gornal stone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gornal stone is a limestone which originates from the Sedgley area of Central England^{[citation needed]}.

The stone was quarried in the Lower Gornal area mostly during the 17th and 18th centuries^{[citation needed]}. . At the peak of the quarrying, almost all buildings in the Sedgley manor (which also included the villages of Coseley, Woodsetton and Ettingshall) were built from Gornal stone, and numerous examples of the recognisable yellow brick remain, including several churches, houses and numerous old walls.
