Lime distemper. I think there's iron content in the stone, the rust stains dry out to fine powder and brush off easily with a small wire brush.
There's advice to soften distemper by painting with wallpaper paste and leaving the paint to soak up the moisture, then washing it all off together. The distemper is quite thick in places. Would this stain the stonework?
