The Resource
These hardworked quarries are in Upwold near the border with Mournwold and within sight of the Old Pig in the Mournwold. They have long produced an unusually hard and well wearing creamy-coloured limestone that has become so famed as superb quality building stone that the name of the Quarry itself has become eponymous for all other caches of Sutton Stone that have been found.
The limestone is seamed with white granite; while the quarries still produce limestone it is this latter material that the quarries focus on.
