Quarried for centuries from the limestone of the 'Isle' of Purbeck, the 'marble' is not marble at all but limestone which contains many shells embedded in it - when polished the edges of the shells in the darker limestone matrix give an attractive appearance to the stone.

The Romans valued Purbeck Marble for construction and quarried it - and a jetty found at Ower in Poole Harbour may have been used for loading the stone into Roman ships.

NEWTOWN,   Brand's Bay, Poole Harbour
Newton was a "new town" which King Edward I attempted to establish on the shores of Brand's Bay in Dorset's Poole Harbour as a port to handle the trade in Purbeck Stone in 1286. Although the site was pegged out to include space for a market and a church and some houses were built, by the time of Queen Elizabeth I it had become reduced to a single cottage.
