| Caption: | Mount St. Bernard Abbey, Leicestershire. |
| Description: | The 19th and early 20th century Cistercian abbey is built of irregular shaped, randomly coursed blocks of cleaved purple grey and green slates, volcaniclastic and other low-grade metamorphic rocks from the Charnian Supergroup (Precambrian) of the local Charnwood Forest area. In marked contrast the the quoins, window mouldings and door frames are freestone of white ooidal limestone from the Middle Jurassic (Lincolnshire Limestone Formation) in the Ketton quarries near Stamford in Rutland. |
