New Build
 The
Calvert family's on-going relationship with the Tupgill Park
estate has lasted over a quarter of a century, during which
time we have supplied stone and carried out all building and
renovation work, including renewed gate pillars, finials,
walling and flower troughs for the main entrance (pictured
above). The limestone eye (pictured bottom) and a paved pathway
through a man-made gorge to a sandstone cave (Right), typify
the way the architects have juxtaposed natural boulders and
informally arranged hard landscaping with sharply defined,
elaborately dressed stone features to enhance the air of secrecy,
intrigue and surprise at the estate's now famous Forbidden
Corner.
 A
new sandstone stable block in Middleham, North Yorkshire (Right)
exemplifies another effective combination of differing stone
finishes, this time to provide an attractive textural and
architectural contrast. Reclaimed stone matching existing
buildings was used for general walling while the archway,
window, corbels, water tables and ridges were created from
new sawn stone.
