Stone Awards win
Our exclusive stone has made the cut scooping two national awards
We’re thrilled to have been chosen not once, but twice, to win awards in this year’s Stone Federation Great Britain National Stone Awards 2020. Our world-renowned Clipsham limestone has made the cut and won two top accolades.
Winner: New Build Modern Category
A redevelopment project within the heart of the historic St John’s College in Oxford has claimed the winning title for New Build Modern Category, with Stamford Stone listed as the official stone supplier.
Our stone was specified for the high profile redevelopment of the Library & Study Centre at St John’s College. This project involved the commission of an impressively large scale stone wall and the development of a sympathetic new build adjoining the existing historic masonry.

Highly Commended: Traditional Style Stonemasonry Category
In addition, a private build project to create a seven-bed country house in Sutton, Cambridgeshire, again using our finest Clipsham stone, has been judged as Highly Commended in the Traditional Style Stonemasonry Category in the same national stone awards.
Sutton Lodge, a privately developed Georgian-fronted home, picked up its winning title as an impressive three-storey new build, complete with triple garage, orangery and grand stone pillared entrance. This project showcases the finest of our Clipsham Ashlar stone.

Clipsham limestone: the go-to stone for development and restoration
Dan Wilson, Director of Stamford Stone: “We are absolutely delighted to have our superb stone recognised in these national awards. We have worked hard to promote our Clipsham limestone to be the go-to stone for both development and restoration projects throughout the UK over the years and this work is beginning to pay dividends. The limestone we excavate from our quarries is the most recognised stone in the area for large-scale commercial projects.”
“Stamford Stone is the exclusive global supplier of Clipsham limestone. As owners and managers of the quarry sites, we know the provenance of our stone and we can guarantee reserves for the next 900 years,” adds Dan.
Clipsham stone is used on many landmark buildings
Both winning projects incorporate Clipsham limestone as the specified stone. Its popularity is derived from its durability and its rich creamy hues which match surrounding historic stonework.
Our limestone has qualities like no other which is why it is often specified for restoration on prestigious buildings such as Windsor Castle, the Houses of Parliament, York Minster and the Nazrin Shah Centre in Oxford.
