Awesome that Alan Titchmarsh really did like the bench we built for him a couple of years ago.
So much, in fact, that he wanted us to travel to his new place and relocate it from the garden of the property he’s recently sold and rebuild it in his beautiful new garden.
And in an extremely prominent part of his delightful garden too! Quite the seal of approval 🫡
The Titchmarsh’s were wonderful hosts again and kept us well fed and watered.
Thanks to Phil for organising and driving 👍🏽. With

Our latest bridge built to allow access over a small stream at a beautiful golf course in Yorkshire.

This bridge was built entirely without mortar, using traditional building methods.

A combination of reclaimed and newly quarried stone was used and all of it was sourced locally. (Installation of concrete foundations was necessary given the soft ground conditions.)

A timber former was constructed on site and positioned to allow the voussoir stones to be laid over it and then it can be released and removed once the arch is complete.

All of the voussoirs, springers and keystones were shaped on site, by us, from raw blocks of stone.

Great work again from Jack . A great help and fantastic work on the bespoke carvings that are built into the bridge.

The last image is generated using AI which we are finding quite useful and fun for generating conceptual images of our projects.

Traditional limestone walling in North East Yorkshire.
Nice to fit some shapes together and wall the stone as it came out of the ground. A bit different to our more decorative, formal stonework but we really like the colours and textures this type of stone provides.

Some progress photos on our latest project.

Working to such fine tolerances with very hard and unforgiving Alston stone is difficult and at times frustrating.

But the textures and colours make it all worth while.
Can’t wait to see this on complete in the spring sunshine ☀️

A magical first few days learning how to paraglide with in beautiful Andalucia.
Not so much R&R, parts of this course are pretty full on and physical 🥵 but absolutely amazing when you’re gliding effortlessly through the air 🦅
The light and landscape out here are just stunning too, sure does leave you wanting more! 🙌🏼

A little run through of our finished ‘wavey wall’ feature project.

Built to help enclose a new swimming pool in this beautiful rural garden. It will be complemented by wonderful planting and landscaping by the excellent and Julie Toll Garden Design.

We helped design this as well as construct it. All built with Alston Natural Stone.

Thanks again to for his expert help. Hoping to be back on phase 2 early in the new year 🙌🏼

Creative design is at the centre of what we do as stone masons ✍️

Having clients that share our vision is something we are very grateful for 🙌🏼

Our latest project takes us to a beautiful country home in rural Hertfordshire where we were tasked with co-designing (with the brilliant Julie Toll) a feature wall to sit alongside a brand new garden, swimming pool and pool house.
We’re all very excited to see how this one plays out 🤩🤩
