What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Duncan Grimmond]

Yes, there are still stone piles in many of the fields here on the edge of the Vale of York, they keep surfacing. Most of the older remaining houses are built from them, rounded cobbles with cut-stone quoins (and sometimes cut stone facades).
All done with lime mortar, our C17th walls are 2ft thick and "as any fule kno" they will never be ecologically sound as they are impossible to damp-proof or insulate.
