Millstones and Staddle Stones are rural functional pieces that have made the transition to impressive garden features. Millstones, used to grind wheat and other grains, now make fantastic entranceway markers, inventive water features and standalone sculptural pieces. With a wealth of available sizes, Millstones and Staddle Stones are a great addition to any outside space. Staddle stones once lifted granaries and barns above the damp and pests in rural settings. Their recognisable mushroom shape is made of two sections, base and cap. These reflected the local stone until railways provided easier transportation. Lining a driveway with staddle stones keeps unwanted traffic off delicate lawns and verges, and look great! Millstones and Staddle Stones demonstrate the ethos of sustainability. Reclaim, reuse and reimagine!

No longer used for their original purpose Millstones provide visual impact in any setting, while Staddle Stones bring a more subtle interest. Nowadays they make great substitute bollards or even rustic bird tables! The stone used in these rural pieces varies according to region. Generally sandstone in the north and limestone in the south, with plenty of variation. Our stock of these pieces echoes the variety found across the country, with red sandstone more prevalent.
