A Corner Stone


Investigating the cause of an unusual damp spot mid-wall, near the corner of our first floor master bedroom, I found the culprit to be a broken roof-edge tile and the result of dripping rain onto the exterior rock face … soon fix that.
However, hacking off the old plaster revealed something far more interesting …

… a collection of beautiful old stones structurally interlocked where the central spine meets the end wall.

Careful re-plastering and pointing of this corner will allow us to leave several of these wonderful stones exposed, adding a uniquely genuine detail to the character of the room.
