For centuries lime was an essential ingredient in many aspects of
life and work - such as farming, building and manufacturing - and
the kilns in which lime was produced were a familiar sight across
the country, not just in areas where limestone naturally occurred.
The importance given to the industry is illustrated by the number
of painters, notably Turner and Girtin, who chose to paint lime
kilns either as the main focus or as an incidental element, and by
the number of literary figures who brought lime burning into their
novels. Lime Kilns: History and Heritage starts by discussing the
uses and importance of lime, and how it has been portrayed
artistically, then describes how lime kilns changed over time, from
simple clamp kilns through small farmers' and estate field kilns to
large commercially operated kilns. It is illustrated with
contemporary and modern photographs, paintings and plans drawing on
examples from across Britain. David Johnson has published and
lectured widely on lime burning and is regarded as an authority on
the subject.
