Speaker: Dr David Johnson
Synopsis
Lime kilns are one of the most common archaeological features to be found in Westmorland and the Dales. Members of AHG will have passed examples, many times, during walks around the parish landscape and beyond.
This illustrated talk relies on archival cartographic and documentary sources as well as landscape archaeology to explain why – and when – lime was produced in such prodigious quantities.
