Place & story
Two firing openings
The architectural inventory dates Laragh’s limestone lime kiln to about 1850. Built into a bank, it has buttressed corners and two arched firing openings lined with red brick. A small neighbouring building carries the date 1862 and a crown-and-B emblem associated with the Bath estate. The survey suggests that the kiln may originally have had one firing opening before an eastward extension. This remains an interpretation of the surviving structure. [2]
