Galmpton Lime kiln

3D Model

Lime Kilns were used intensively in the devon area in the 17th and 18th Centuries with there use all the way up to the early 19th Century.

Lime kilns were used for the calcination of Lime to form Quicklime. A typical Lime burning would take around 24- 48 hours. The Quick lime Produced would be used to “Sweeten the Soil” being used to Neutralise fields to create the Best enviroment for Growing Crops.

This Lime Kiln located at Glampton was survey in a follow up survey conducted by CITiZAN volunteers in 2019.

The chamber is currently being processed and alligned and will be avaliable in the near future.
