Cotswold Hill Stone &
Masonry Ltd
Cotswold Hill Stone & Masonry Ltd., based at Cotswold Hill Quarry near Ford,
Cheltenham has, produced high quality building, landscaping and masonry
stone for 35 years.
In 2014 Cotswold Hill Stone & Masonry took over Birch Hill
Quarry, situated deep in the Royal Forest of Dean. This quarry
produces Pennant sandstone, renowned for its excellent
characteristics of weather resistance and strength.
It is sought after by landscape architects and garden designers
for water features and rockery projects due to its attractiveness
and robust nature. This stone has starred in award-winning
displays at both Malvern Spring Show and Chelsea Flower
Show where it has been displayed in its natural form, sitting
harmoniously with freshly sawn paving.
The monumental megalith Pennant sandstone is popular for
its striking appearance, weathered over many years and aged
with lichen and moss. In contrast the newly dug stone shows its
natural charm with strikes of blue, grey and red.
The stone extracted from the Cotswold Hill Stone & Masonry
quarry is from the Guiting Group of sedimentary limestones
and is available in honey and cream colours. It is suitable for
many applications including walling, building, and masonry.
The building stone has been used in many prestigious locations
for both conservation and renovation. Cotswold Hill Stone and
Masonry are proud that their work graces such eminent buildings
as the Houses of Parliament, Hampton Court Palace, Blenheim
Palace, Magdalen Bridge, Oxford colleges and Alexandra Palace.
Cotswold Hill Stone & Masonry source and stock stone from
other areas to give as wide a choice to their customers as
possible. Experienced stonemasons are available to assist
with any ideas customers may already have or help with the
interpretation of architect’s drawings.
