Wealden Sussex Sandstone

Wealden Sussex Fine Hand Tooled Walling with Margin (FHTM)

This finely tooled natural sandstone walling is ideal for restoration and new build projects. The 45-degree tooled finish to this stone ashlar was introduced into England by the Normans. It can be seen in many notable buildings in the South East, including Battle Abbey (1068) and Rudyard Kipling's house, Bateman's.

As well as the 45-degree tool marks, this fine walling stone has a distinguishing tooled margin.

Wealden Sussex Sandstone weathers from a warm honey colour to soft silvered autumn shades over time. It is an ideal natural stone to blend into a traditional or contemporary building and garden design.
