Dengie church: walling materials (1)
In the Essex volume of 'The Buildings of England', Pevsner has this to say:
'The Royal Commission [on Historical Monuments] notes in the walls the use of C14 yellow bricks apart from Roman bricks. The variety of colour in the walls is altogether remarkable: septaria, that is a brown stone, flint, pebble, and the bricks'.
Well, Roman bricks are thin and red, and I have to say I found very few of them - which is a pity, as they are normally reckoned to be evidence of Saxon work: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4708019 The yellow bricks - said to be 14th century - are obvious enough in my 'sample' (taken from the west wall of the church).
What impressed me most was the size of the flints - huge things, far bigger than the general run of flints seen on (say) the South Downs. I saw others in use nearby, and (knowing little of the local geology) I'm puzzled as to how they got here.

This sample of walling shows some of the few Roman bricks I was able to find - identifiable by their red colour and by their shape.

A sample from the north wall of the nave, west end.

In this sample it was the yellow bricks which first caught my eye - but what are the huge white blocks? Could they be clunch? There's also a very crumbly brown material in there - perhaps Pevsner's septaria?
