Hello all, I think this is a bit of a Friday question - how many of you record small fragments of buildings that have ended up re-used elsewhere? The case in question is an arch and sill from a church or chapel re-used to surround a house sign in East Ravendale (see link at the bottom of the email). It is tempting to think that the stones came from the church just up the lane, which was medieval but almost completely rebuilt in the 19th century, but like the rest of Lincolnshire you can't move for rebuilt/remodelled medieval churches and demolished 19th century chapels, so they could have come from anywhere. My gut feeling is that they are not worth recording without further information, as they don't really tell us anything. In contrast, a house in New Waltham has almost every decorative piece of stone from a demolished medieval church in Lincolnshire (probably Muckton, as the belfry at New Waltham's 20th century parish church came from there) rebuilt into a garden wall - this I would record as there is a significant volume of material from a known, or at least suspected, location and known date.
