Stone industry

The stone industry is one of the World’s oldest. From the start of time, man began learning how to cut and carve stone to make tools weapons, and shelters. He probably didn’t get round to making stone fireplaces  or stone staircases for a long time, but when he did find that spark of inspiration, he already had the skills to work with the stone. It’s not surprising that early man was strong! Working stone is hard work even with today’s modern tools and equipment. Just moving large blocks of stone must have been a daunting task when all they had was manual labour.

A stone fireplace is still a very heavy item. Those made by Manorhouse Stone are made from substantial stone blocks just as were the originals. These are not pale imitations! These fireplaces are made to last and the stone which they’re made from will last for ever.

Stone masonry whether it’s making stone fireplaces and stone stairs, or carving a statue, is a truly ancient art. The best masons have come through years of training, tutored by older masons who have worked on every sort of stone and building that you can imagine. Although we specialise in fireplaces, our masons can make anything.
