Me too, George. Thanks to everybody for your replies:

Tomas, your information led me to Canterbury Crypt:

George, I had never paid much attention to stone tools apart from what we
use, there are some stunning images here:

John, your early attempt at flint walling echoed mine, using hornfels
(bluestone) after becoming accustomed to porous sandstone;

Deb, I had looked in vain for close-ups of flint walling.

Thanks again,
Simon
