Egglestone marble was quarried at four sites around Barnard Castle
on the banks of the Tees in the later Middle Ages, reaching a peak
in usage in the fifteenth century. This comprehensive work looks at
its quarrying, usage and distribution across the north-east. Whilst
there is no evidence of the stone's use in building work, it was
used in a range of other monuments such as cross ledger and incised
slabs, tomb chests, fonts, and most importantly as the setting for
memorial brasses. Patterns of patronage are noted and the
appendices contain a complete list of Egglestone marble pieces with
evidence for dating and patronage.
