"At the 1440 century Minster Lovell Hall in Oxfordshire you can see well preserved genuine medieval cobblestone. The Hall has been in ruins since 1747. The cobblestone used was pebbles from the river Windrush pushed into into a layer of clay by hand then overlaid with oak planks and pounded level. To keep the pebbles in place and make leveling even more efficient is a square pattern of lime stone. The limestone is worn to pieces but the cobblestone itself is in near perfect condition without any maintenance at all. The trick is to push the cobbles in standing not lengthwise or laying flat and"

"In England in the middle ages good stone for building and paving was usually imported by sea or navigable river from the best quarries. Less affluent places or those without access to waterways had to do with whatever local stone they could find or in some unlucky places like Essex (clay and sand) do without. This all changed with the railways which meant that high quality stone could be transported anywhere in the country cheap and easy. Today in England more stone is used per capita than ever before"

"Snecked stonemasonry is when you have irregularly laid courses. Usually/ideally all the stones in one course are of the same height but in rougher work they used what was at hand. The stones that reach over one or two courses are called jumper-stones and the ones that are only half a height are called snecks. Sometimes the words are used interchangeably. This was commonly associated with a more primeval or rustic sense but today it is often imitated in art and fiction and in Disneyland because it looks more authentic to us moderns"
