Princes Risborough puddingstone

            Puddingstone is a conglomerate of stones, especially pebbles, whose colour contrasts with the setting around them. They were formed in ancient times when pebbles and other stones fell into chalk or sand. This was then compressed when silica in groundwater cemented it together into rock. Blocks and stones were then carried away from their place of origin by melting glaciers. The classic ones consist of pebbles of a similar colour, typically blue, brown, or white and occasionally red. They vary in size from a few inches across to large ones weighing many tons.

This stone is sited by the  roundabout in Horns Lane / New Road in Princes Risborough. One of several in the Chilterns thought to have been way-markers for prehistoric man. Princes Risborough is an old market town on the Icknield Way (an ancient trackway in southern and eastern England that runs from Norfolk to Wiltshire) at the edge of the Chiltern Hills.
