Hornton stone. A limestone named after quarries at Hornton in north-west Oxfordshire. It is typically a rich rusty brown in colour, but green and greyish-blue tints also occur. It was a favourite stone of Henry
Moore, the celebrated
Madonna and Child (1943–4) in St Matthew's, Northampton, being one of his best-known works in this material. The quarries at Hornton are now closed, but similar stone is obtained at nearby Edge Hill in Warwickshire.
