Three of the stones which Mr. Naylor measured, and of 
which he showed photographs, were in length respectively 
62ft., 6lft., and 63ft., while they were 14ft. wide and 12ft. in 
height as they lay in the wall. Another temple presented a 
colonnade of six columns, which with their base and their 
entablature, were almost exactly the height from the ground 
to the centre of the clock of the Bradford Town Hall. In 
another part of the buildings, two landings and steps of a 
staircase were carved through the middle of a solid cube of 
stone, ten feet in each of its dimensions. This was placed by 
the builders, not on the ground level, but at the top of a stair- 
case between sixty and seventy feet in height. The builders, 
in fact, seemed to have delighted in making difficulties and 
overcoming them. The stone had evidently been quarried 
a mile or so from the spot, and in the quarries there lay a stone 
evidently intended for the building, though it was not fully 
separated from the parent rock. This stone measured seventy 
feet long, and varied in width from fourteen feet to seventeen 
feet, and was fourteen feet in height. Such a stone, if it 
could be placed on end and hollowed out, would make a cottage 
of the floor dimensions ordinarily used in Burnley, and seven 
storeys in height! Into speculations as to the means by 
which the old builders contrived to deal with such enormous 
masses of stone, Mr. Naylor declined to enter.
