Stamford Stone Co Ltd own and operate local quarries – the first is our 20 acre Clipsham Medwells Quarry, over a century old. In 2018 we acquired the Clipsham Quarry Company, making us the exclusive global supplier of Clipsham limestone. Our quarry at Swaddywells is perhaps better described as a stone engineering processing centre. Investing in advanced cutting equipment means we can now produce ashlar cladding pieces. This allows natural limestone to be used as either a fully constructional element or a lightweight cladding material. Our expert sawing and cropping techniques (which include sawing on bed in heights of 65, 90, 115 and 140mm) make the natural stone easier to lay. It can therefore be used by normal bricklayers as well as specialist stonemasons.
