Stones
York Stone
A sandstone from Yorkshire, characterised by its plain brown and occasional black fleck.
Portland Stone
A limestone taken from the Jurassic coastline. It is used to produce the majority of war graves, including the cenotaph. It has minor shell content which varies slightly from block to block.
Granite
Granite forms from the slow crystallization of magma below the Earth’s surface. Composed mainly of quartz and feldspar with minor amounts of mica, amphiboles and other minerals.
Being one of the most beautiful and durable natural stones, granite is a popular choice for making headstones.
