Assheton
Natural stone, selected at source, for homes, gardens, estates and architectural landscapes.
We work with a select group of family-owned quarries across the British Isles and the continent. Every material is seen in person. Many hundreds are considered. Few are carried.

Carried.
Seen in person
Every selected material is viewed at the face, the block yard or the saw bed — never chosen from a catalogue image. The judgement behind the stone is as important as the stone itself.
Edited heavily
Many hundreds of stones and faces have been considered. What is carried is small because the work demands it. Most of what we have looked at is not included.
Carried
What we carry, we stand behind. Material has to look right, sit well beside the building, age properly, and make the place feel more certain.
Family-owned.
Across the isles and the continent.
Assheton works with a select group of family-owned quarries across the British Isles and the continent — places where the stone is understood from the bed up, and the judgement behind it is as important as the stone itself.
That relationship gives us a different kind of judgement — not only which material to carry, but which to leave alone.
A few of the pieces
presently in view.
Each carries an Assheton name and a character we can account for. The whole range sits under Materials.
