ST ANDREW’S CHURCH
WROXETER

...
The earliest part of St Andrew’s dates to the later Anglo-Saxon peri-
od but its precise foundation date is not known, and it may well have been preceded by a timber church. Certainly, we know that a preaching cross was put up in the churchyard during the later 8th century, in the reign of King Offa. Possibly at this time, or perhaps in the next century, Wroxeter’s stone church was built. The ***large stones used in it came from one of the public buildings of the Roman city***.

Reference information:
However, the decay of these ruins was accelerated by the Church, which from as early as the late 6th century plundered Roman buildings of stone and brick to erect some of the more important ecclesiastical buildings in the land. Not until the late 10th century were quarries reopened for the extraction of fresh, unused building material.
Conventional wisdom dictates that these Roman ruins were important to medieval builders simply as cheap and convenient sources of stone. Why quarry stone afresh, the argument runs, when someone has already done it for you? There is no question that economy was a factor in the recycling of Roman building material (or spolia). But - as is so often the case with historical research - scratching beneath the surface reveals the past to be far more complex than our simplistic models allow.
Может, именно говорится о том, что церковь была построена из камня (строительных материалов, т.к., кроме камня это мог быть и кирпич) , употреблявшегося в римских постройках в Англии.
