Many of us are used to seeing flint used in buildings in the UK but have you really looked at the different construction? Here are two very different but equally beautiful ones seen in Norwich.
This wall was built towards the end of the 14th Century and is the only one I’ve seen where the flint has been shaped into blocks. You can hardly see any mortar.
Now this one is an ornate version of the type more commonly found where the flint and mortar mix is visible. With yet others it’s a 50/50 mix.
Please let me know if you have pictures of any other examples.
