Stoke Ground
Top Bed
Finely grained exceptionally consistent
Bath Stone
The quintessential Bath Stone
Top Bed Stoke Ground Bath Stone is the ideal Bath Stone for carving, ashlar walling and fireplaces.
It is a finely grained, exceptionally consistent limestone with a pale cream or buff colour that mellows to the quintessential honey colour that is the hallmark of quality Bath Stone.
One of the most distinctive features of our Top Bed is its bed height that can occasionally reach 1600mm. This height makes it particularly attractive to masons and sculptors because it opens up a wealth of creative possibilities.
Top Bed Stoke Ground Bath Stone has an extraordinary legacy and there is evidence of quarrying at Stoke Hill Mine dating back to the mid-fifteenth century.
