What is recorded here

Kiln in Ussey stands in its own quarry, burning the very limestone it was built from. A grand business, provided somebody stayed sober enough to remember which stones were stock and which were holding the place up.

0 / 600

Freestanding lime kiln, built c.1800, standing in its own quarry. Walls of large limestone blocks, with tooled quoins. Segmental arch to front elevation. Ramped access to rear.
This large and well constructed limekiln is in good condition. It is a testament to the skills of the builders and a reminder of past rural and agricultural industry.
