Ketton stone

Ketton stone is a Jurassic oolitic limestone, cream to pale yellow or pink in colour, used as a building stone since the 1500s. Ketton Stone has been more widely used outside the county than within - most notably at Cambridge where it has been used in many of the colleges for over 300 years.
