The well that put a stone coat on a hat

Read slide text
- This hat seemed to turn to stone
At Knaresborough’s dripping well, Victorian visitors saw everyday objects hanging beneath mineral-rich water.
- The water was building a shell
Minerals left by the dripping water formed a hard coating around each object, following its shape.
- A stone coat, not a stone hat
The shape stayed familiar because the deposit formed around it. The apparent transformation was encrustation.
