Gedling All HallowsStonework
The stone used for the walls was quarried within a mile of the church and
is known as Gedling stone. This material is used in Burton
Joyce church, St Peter’s
Nottingham, the old Trent Bridge and in Nottingham Castle. Most of the
masonry takes the form of coursed rubble except for the ashlar in the tower.
The cut stone forming the windows, arcade piers and arches and the chancel
arch is Mansfield stone which can be seen in Southwell Minster.
