| Description: | This distinctively designed late 18th century house at Goodwood Park, is entirely faced with flint nodules. Although some of the flint probably came as a biproduct of working the local Chalk for lime, it is more likely that much of it came from the flint gravel accumulations within the local alluvial deposits. This imposing residence at Goodwood Park of the Earl of March, exemplifies the use of unknapped flint as a building material. This material was traditionally used in smaller houses and cottages on the South Downs, but its use in large buildings such as Goodwood House is rare. Flint is one of the principal building materials in Sussex. Flints occur as layers and irregularly shaped nodules within the Upper Cretaceous Chalk succession. These siliceous nodules were formed from the accumulation and subsequent diagenetic alteration of siliceous bioclastic debris deposited in the chalk seas. |
