James Stone Masonry Ltd in association with McCrory Holding are proud to have been involved in this prestigious and historic grade one thirteenth century Gothic style project. The Great Hall in Manchester Town Hall is of immense importance, within the Great Hall there are 12 murals painted by Ford Madox Brown. These murals had to be protected and great care had to be taken when we were working around them.

Lancaster Castle, often known as John O’ Gaunt’s Castle is one of the most historically fascinating surviving buildings in the country. Its beginnings date back to Roman times when, from its commanding position on the hill overlooking the town of Lancaster and the River Lune, it stood as a bastion against the marauding forces of the ancient Picts and Scots tribes.

James Stone Masonry Ltd was contracted to fix the red sand stone on this prestigious development in Hale Barns Cheshire. Some of the sandstone had to be re-cut and reshaped on-site producing a stunning end result.

We installed Jura Limestone panels to this prestigious development in Hale Barns. The stone panels were supported on corbel plates and restrained back to the blockwork with brackets and dowels. The finish on the stone panels was a sand blasted finish, the cills were highly polished. The corners of the house were formed by cutting a birds mouth design on the end of each panel which was done on site to give an overall stunning effect.

Radius coping stones added to a brick wall to give it a stunning finish.

The old discoloured coping stones were removed James Stone Masonry Ltd refixed new copings on this modern and prestigious house in Hale.
