Abstract
Buildings have always been the result of labour and materials applied with enterprise and this has changed little since the Middle Ages the principal source of building materials remains the ground and plants growing from it. While labour has always been mobile, the materials in any building inevitably reflect the local geology and natural environment as it has always been uneconomic to import foreign ingredients to site. This second article in the series attempts to identify modern sources of some of the most soughtafter basic materials required in conservation works.
