  1. The lime Kiln
    There is a great lime kiln in Sheephouse and most of the men who worked in this lime kiln are now dead. There is no lime made in it now. Some of the stone that is in St Peter's Church was got in this quarry. ^It was very good lime and very white. The stone was also used for making head stones.
