Geologically these hills form a portion of the great belt of limestone which extends across England from the Dorsetshire coast to Scarborough. All the buildings are of the local limestone; which was practically the only material available. Constructions of the simplest forms were practiced, based on traditions handed down, generation after generation, gradually evolving into a distinct type or style." (Foreword).
