Lincolnshire Priory Stone
• Geology: Limestone
• Trade / merchant description: Often sold as sandstone
Lincolnshire Priory comes from the Lincolnshire Limestone formation (Jurassic), the same general belt as Ancaster, Guiting, Bath and Portland
so technically it is a limestone.
However, many merchants market it as sandstone because, the buff colour looks like sandstone and the texture can appear slightly sandy
