Summary edit
| Description |
English: Brackenhill Quarries Quarrying is believed to have begun here in 1629 when Charles I granted quarrying rights to tenants to take stone for use within the Manor. The hard course-grained sandstone was not only good building material but could be used for grindstones and scythe stones and by the 1800s it was exported worldwide. |
