roman monumental stone построена из монументального римского камня Explanation: -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-06-07 15:36:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.visitchurches.org.uk/uploads/publications/54.pdf Building materials: three types of sandstone are used in the church. The bright red sandstone is known as Keele Beds and this is the local bedrock on which the church is built. It is a soft stone, easily carved but not long-lasting.This can be seen on the Victorian south porch - it is only just over 100 years old and yet it is already weathering. It is thought that in the Roman period, this stone was quarried from Ketley bank, now in modern Telford, where the Watling Street cuts into an outcrop of this rock. The other two types of stone are both Hoar Edge Grit, a type of sandstone that is found eight miles to the south of Wroxeter. The first type is pale grey or buff in colour and has millet-seed sized grains of sand in it. In the Roman period it was used for large columns and the big stones such as those reused in the church. A finer quality variant was used for elements that needed carving, such as the column base reused as the font. The fine carvings on the tower are in Grinshill sandstone. This is a very fine-grained hard sandstone that is well suited to intricate carving. Grinshill lies about 15 miles north of Wroxeter |

roman monumental stone больших камней, полученных из разрушенных строений римского города Explanation: ST ANDREW’S CHURCH WROXETER SHROPSHIRE ... The earliest part of St Andrew’s dates to the later Anglo-Saxon peri- od but its precise foundation date is not known, and it may well have been preceded by a timber church. Certainly, we know that a preaching cross was put up in the churchyard during the later 8th century, in the reign of King Offa. Possibly at this time, or perhaps in the next century, Wroxeter’s stone church was built. The ***large stones used in it came from one of the public buildings of the Roman city***. http://www.visitchurches.org.uk/uploads/publications/54.pdf |

Reference: http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba60/feat2.shtml Reference information: However, the decay of these ruins was accelerated by the Church, which from as early as the late 6th century plundered Roman buildings of stone and brick to erect some of the more important ecclesiastical buildings in the land. Not until the late 10th century were quarries reopened for the extraction of fresh, unused building material. Conventional wisdom dictates that these Roman ruins were important to medieval builders simply as cheap and convenient sources of stone. Why quarry stone afresh, the argument runs, when someone has already done it for you? There is no question that economy was a factor in the recycling of Roman building material (or spolia). But - as is so often the case with historical research - scratching beneath the surface reveals the past to be far more complex than our simplistic models allow. Может, именно говорится о том, что церковь была построена из камня (строительных материалов, т.к., кроме камня это мог быть и кирпич) , употреблявшегося в римских постройках в Англии.
