ARCHITECTURAL MASONRY
The widespread use of Cotswold natural stone has created a unique architectural heritage that is recognised the world over.
INTRODUCTION
We use natural stone from our Cotswold Quarry, and a few select sources, to create our range of architectural masonry.
Farmington natural Cotswold stone is an Oolitic limestone which has been quarried since Roman times. It is highly valued due to its durability and versatility.
ARCHED PEDIMENT
An arched pediment in masonry is a decorative feature characterised by a curved or arched top above a structure’s entrance or window. It is often chosen for its aesthetic appeal and classical architectural elegance.

They can be seen in architecture throughout history, dating back to the Ancient Egyptians. And of course, they have almost always been used for buildings of significance, such as temples, palaces, or stately homes.
