Yorkshire stone is a durable material, memorials made from it usually have a fine-rubbed, smooth surface and come in a range of distinctive hues of buff through to grey. All sandstones absorb water and this property means that lichens quickly cover the surface of the stone, giving it a natural ‘weathered’ appearance. This feature is particularly attractive to Church authorities who often like memorials to blend in with the character of the older memorials in the churchyard and indeed the Church buildings
