London Stone
Ralph Merriman (1965) describes this photograph thus;
‘London Stone’, now preserved in a niche in the south wall of the Bank of China, Cannon Street, photographed in 1961 after it had heen removed from a similar position in the wall of St. Swithin’s Church on the same site.
John Clark reports that it;
was temporarily placed in the care of Guildhall Museum … During this period a sample of the stone was taken. It was identified as Lincolnshire Limestone both by F G Dimes and later by F W Anderson of the Institute of Geological Studies - the latter adding ‘your specimen, making allowances for its weathered condition, resembles Clipsham Stone more clearly than it resembles the others’ (Merrifield 1965, 123; and correspondence in Museum of London, Guildhall Museum file T10). However, re-examination of the same sample, now in the Natural History Museum (Earth Sciences), by Kevin Hayward (pers comm) has indicated that rather than Lincolnshire it may be Bath Stone.
