Heritage Open Day: An explanation of how our area evolved geologically over the last 170 million years, the influence that this has had on today's landscape and why it is such an important part of our local heritage, including St James unique “green Greensand. Paul explains the geological history of Bedfordshire over the last 170 million years, and the impact that this has had on the landscape we observe today. This has mostly involved the deposition of bedrocks which were deposited in ancient seas.
To the north of Husborne Crawley, the rocks are Jurassic in age and were deposited in a widespread sea which existed in this area, and which was teeming with ammonites and marine reptiles. In the brick pits of Stewartby and Bedford, a rich fauna of fossils has been found.
