Ladycross Stone Company

Ladycross Stone has been quarried by hand at Ladycross Quarry for at least 300 years (no explosives are used) and is one of the few remaining quarries where stone is won by hammer and wedge.

Ladycross Stone is a sedimentary sandstone, soft enough to be worked when first quarried but then starts to harden making it very durable. This durability is what makes organisations like English Heritage recommend Ladycross Stone for listed buildings in many parts of Britain.
