Land registry

Have you ever tried to track down a title document and plan from the Land registry? What a nightmare job that is, or at least can be!  We’re working on another walled garden, where we’re restoring the stone base of the original green houses. While there and talking with the owner who is a friend (and good customer as we’ve made several stone fireplaces for him for the house as well), we realised that there is another area of land outside one of the kitchen garden’s walls that appears to be landlocked, and yet with no obvious ownership. Well, via the uK Land registry, we’ve been trying to find out who has title to the land, and we just cannot get the right information from the Land registry! They just send us back a list of title numbers and ask us which one we’re referring to, and of course we don’t know! That’s what we’re asking them to tell us!

It’s made us realise that designing and making stone products is far simpler. We can draw and carve a stone fireplace with the minimum of complication, and we can turn that drawing into the stone fireplace that you want. Simple

We’re definately working inside today, as it’s tipping it down. Well that is all except our mason still working on the massive stone staircase from the which the sections are just to big to go into the workshop. Still he doesn’t seem to mind working in the rain, and it’s not cold.
