Stone Masonry

Sawn Natural Bath Stone

[ Archive ]

This fine textured limestone was used by the Romans to build public buildings. The Georgians again revived the use of this stone and many world famous landmarks are constructed in Bath Stone. The material naturally weathers to a cream colour, and is ideal to form almost any architectural embellishments as well as masonry.
