From The BBC-Stone removed from Canterbury Cathedral during restoration of a 15th Century window is to be sold at auction.
More than 140 pieces will be sold, some large enough for garden ornaments and smaller pieces that can go in a home.
Heather Newton, head of conservation, said successful bidders would own of a piece of history - the cathedral is mother church of the Anglican Communion and part of a World Heritage Site.
The proceeds will go to the future conservation of the cathedral.
Many of the pieces date back to when the Great South Window was built and show the carvings and markings of stonemasons who have worked on the window over the centuries.
