| Description: | Crawley Church is typical of most older parish churches in Britain being constructed almost completely from locally available materials, in this case sandstone from the Upper Tunbridge Wells Sand Formation and clay ironstone from the Weald Clay Formation. This south wall of Crawley church dates from 1290 A.D. It is a built in 'random rubble' fashion, of unevenly-sized blocks of sandstone, probably from the Upper Tunbridge Wells Sand. The dark brown stones are slabs of clay ironstone, from either the Weald Clay or the Upper Tunbridge Wells Sand of the vicinity. The old doorway is walled-up with large dressed blocks of sandstone, probably from the Lower Tunbridge Wells Sand. Several fine brown sandstone units occur in the Lower Cretaceous, Hastings Beds of the Weald. All were once important as local building stones. The sandstones include Upper Tunbridge Wells Sand, Ardingley Sandstone (Lower Tunbridge Wells Sand), Horsham and Cuckfield stones. |
