RECTORY STONE are the unsung treasures of the stone fabrication world, where real craftsmen with pride in their work still exist.
You can find them in the heart of Oxfordshire in a village called Watlington where, up a quiet unmarked track, is a hive of professional industry.
This discovery is a very well-kept secret of the building trade — a huge workshop filled with various jobs of monolithic proportions all on the go.
Ancient and beautiful slabs are being crafted into the most marvellous tabletops, bathrooms and stunning kitchen surfaces.
Walk up the path a little and there is a small but well-stocked stone yard where you can choose the very stone that will be cut on the premises for you.
A showroom on site displays an immaculate inlaid floor with underfloor heating, and some articles of their work.
The whole job is handled here, from the templating to the fixing. Rectory Stone works in traditional materials such as granite and marble, and is able to craft stone for your bespoke bathroom project, including vanity tops and bath surrounds. Call (01491) 613337.
