Case Study
Restoration of The Master's House, Ledbury
Forest Pennant internal flooring & feature paving
Grade II listed, timber frame medieval building restored
The Master's House, Ledbury was one of a few medieval buildings left in Europe and needed to be protected and restored for the future as a multi-purpose building. This restoration project was made possible with a £1.25 million pound grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. The architects, Butler Hegarty Architects, were supported by a group of local volunteers and the client, Herefordshire Council. It is a now a library, archive and community service hub and has received numerous awards and accolades.
Forest Pennant; a perfect choice
Forest Pennant Sandstone was specified by the architects as the most appropriate material to complement the internal features and facade of the medieval building. Our mixed colour internal flooring was laid in the central hall and entrance and our external paving in the courtyard. Our Forest Pennant sandstone also forms the base of several interpretation features in the courtyard. One of the key factors in the choice of our natural stone was the slip resistance, even in wet conditions.

Aesthetically the stone looks lovely indoors - the floor is easy to sweep and even though it is stone, it seems warm and appropriate for the building. There are often comments about the hall feeling grand, full of character and history, and I'm sure that part of this positive response is due to the solidity and grandeur of the flooring.
