Old lime kiln hiding behind young trees This disused lime kiln > <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3935012" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3935012">Link</a> was built between 1814 and 1846. In 1836 Robert Whistler is recorded as a lime burner at Guist and in 1854 William Mallon, victualler at the Swan Inn, is also recorded as a lime burner. Presumably both men worked at this kiln which is of an unusual type with a circular kiln and a funnel-shaped pot. The kiln is situated to one side of a former lime pit and short tunnel leads into it. The entrance from the pit is formed of flint faced with brick. Inside, the lime chutes remain, some still with little piles of residue, and there may be other recesses in the passage face of the pot. The site is shown as pits on a local map dating from 1785; it is first shown mentioning the kiln on a Tithe map from 1846 and still working by 1885 as shown on 6ins OS map.
