Hertfordshire Puddingstone: the story of a unique local rock

Gerald Lucy from The Rock Gallery will give his talk Hertfordshire Puddingstone: The story of a unique local rock.  

Hertfordshire Puddingstone is one of the world’s most remarkable stones. Beautiful and very distinctive, giant boulders of it can be seen on the roadside and on village greens. The talk will explore the stone’s origin 56 million years ago, and its history, uses and folklore stretching back thousands of years. 

Gerald will bring some examples with him.  He will also be selling copies of his new book about puddingstone; payment can be by cash or card (£12). 

We will meet in the Underwood Room (upstairs, but there is a lift), Mrs Howard Hall, Norton Way South, Letchworth SG6 1NX. Free car parking is available next to the Hall.

Everyone is welcome. Please pay in cash on the night: LALG members £4, non-members £5.
