Home Farm Bradpole (Detail) This shows the stone construction of the farm house located on Caley Way. It is Inferior Oolite on a plinth of Forest Marble. The inferior oolite may have come from quarries at Allington and the Forest Marble is almost certainly Bothenhampton stone (or Baunton Stone as it was known as locally) from the quarries at Bothenhampton. The forest marble was used on the lower courses because of its low permeability to water. See also <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7061204">SY4894 : Home Farm Bradpole</a>
