Stone Information
Extracted in the heart of Teesdale, Dunhouse Buff has proved popular for its blonde colouring, fine grain and consistency, making it ideal for carving and a good match for restoration and new build in city’s such as Edinburgh, Glasgow and Newcastle.
The quarry was opened up to build Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle (completed in 1892) and the quality of detail still evident today stands as testament to the durability of the stone.
We have had the pleasure in supplying Dunhouse stone for the restoration of Durham Cathedral, Edinburgh Castle, and Castle Howard among many other projects throughout Britain.
