Great work Tony! What a fantastic result!Huge thanks to Tony Lowery with the support of Cumbrian Stone Ltd for donating £1,856 following Tony’s Chester Marathon Challenge on the 3rd October.
Tony trained for many months in preparation for this challenge and achieved a tremendous time of 3 hours 49 minutes. This isn’t the first time Tony has ran and raised funds for Hospice at Home when in 2008 he completed the London Marathon.
We would like to thank Tony, all the sponsors and Cumbrian Stone for this generous commitment which will help provide many, many hours of care and comfort to local patient, families and carers in the home.
What a fantastic result! Tony smashed his 4 hour target with an official time of 3.49.40 in the 2021 Chester Marathon.
Don't forget, Tony has completed this marathon in support of Hospice at Home Carlisle and North Lakeland and has already raised over £1,250 for this amazing cause. There's still time to donate and boost this total even higher, and the easiest way to do this is via Tony's just giving page at www.justgiving.com/fundraising/tony-lowery-chester2021
A big thank you to everyone who has helped Tony support such a fantastic cause! The total raised as of this morning is an amazing £1,806 before gift aid, and this generous support will help Hospice at Home keep delivering essential support across Cumbria.
Well done Tony, ( could think of better things to do on a Sunday mind 😁)
It’s marathon day! After months of training and preparation our Business Development Manager, Tony Lowery will be setting off to run the Chester 2021 Marathon in just over an hours time.
Tony has already raised an amazing amount of support for Hospice at Home, and there’s still time to sponsor him by donating to this fantastic charity via his just giving page.

Our team loves to call in and visit projects that we have been lucky enough to supply, and last week one of our team had the pleasure of dropping by The Flower Pots Inn for lunch whilst holidaying in sunny Hampshire! We think the new extension to the inn (complete with our Longridge paving and Lazonby Flower Pots) looks amazing, plus we have it on good authority that the Pots Bitter, Cheriton Porter and chunky chips are definitely worth the trip!
Beautiful guys
Repair and restoration work is something we always enjoy, and over the last couple of weeks our masons have been hard at work hand carving these beautiful replacement tracery window stones for a restoration project in Kendal. As the full window doesn't need replaced, each section had to be carefully measured and set out to fit with remaining window stones. We're sure they will look stunning once they are in place!
Beautiful work as normal
Here's something a little different for a Monday morning... our Peakmoor sandstone has been used to help form a new fish pass at Limefields Falls Weir near Edinburgh. This great project will help to enhance the biodiversity of the upstream areas of the Harwood Water by providing new access for fish and eels.

We think he must be mad... but our very own Tony Lowery is running the Chester Marathon this year in support of Hospice at Home Carlisle and North Lakeland.
If you want to help support Tony you can help by donating via his just giving page here...

...and trust us, donating is a lot easier than joining him on a training run for moral support!

As part of our commitment to our customers, our team have spent the last few months working with teams at Lancaster University on several projects relating to the testing and quality control of natural stone products in the UK.
As part of this research we are looking for feedback from architects, builders and anyone who has or is considering using natural stone in the future on their opinions around what is important to them when selecting natural stone. If you are able to spare a few minutes of your time to let us know your thoughts via the below questionnaire we would really appreciate your help.
forms.office.com/r/8sAFSLTZSn
And don't worry, this questionnaire is completely anonymous and your data won't be used for anything other than the research being carried out by Lancaster University so we promise that you won't be bombarded with marketing calls or emails if you do take part!
Finally, if you would like to learn more about the research we are carrying out or would like to be more involved with our work then we would love to hear from you so please get in touch.

Welcome Back!
As lockdown restrictions are lifted, we're pleased to be able to announce the reopening of our showroom from today (Monday 12th April 2021).
In order to help keep everyone safe whilst visiting, all customers are still required to wear a mask whilst in our showroom. We are also still asking that enquiries are emailed to us wherever possible to sales@cumbrianstone.co.uk as this is the quickest and easiest way to get an accurate quote from our team.
Did you spot us in last month's Premier Construction magazine? We were lucky enough to feature twice in the March 2021 edition, both as the stone suppliers at Carlisle Cathedral and in our own feature too.
Have you seen this month's issue of Premier Construction Magazine yet? Make sure to check out pages 22-25 and pages 52-53 to find out a bit more about what we've been up to at Cumbrian Stone...

First of all, from everyone at Cumbrian Stone we hope you are well and keeping safe during these highly unusual times. Following the government’s latest announcement and several customer enquires this morning we would like to update our customers as follows:
Ongoing Orders, Collections and Deliveries
Following the government’s announcement on Saturday 31st October, we are writing to reassure our customers that as a manufacturer supplying the construction industry, Cumbrian Stone will continue to produce your orders throughout the up and coming lockdown. We are currently working closely with our supply chain to ensure that any disruptions over the coming weeks are kept to a minimum, and once your order is ready for collection or delivery we will be in touch to arrange this with you. Collections from our site in Penrith are available on an appointment only basis, and we will arrange a suitable time and date for any collections with you once your order is ready for collection.
Should anything change that may impact on your order over the next few weeks we will be back in touch with another update, and we would like to thank you for your patience and continued understanding during these unprecedented circumstances.
New Enquiries
Unfortunately, due to the new restrictions being brought in by the government we have taken the decision to close our showroom from Thursday 5th November until further notice. Our team are still hard at work behind the scenes and are more than happy to deal with any new enquires by phone and email. Please get in touch via sales@cumbrianstone.co.uk or call us on 01768 867867 with any new enquires. Please note that we are currently quoting a lead time of around 10 working weeks from the point of order and due to our current workload we are unable to fit in any new orders before the two week Christmas shutdown.
We always love to see photos of our beautiful fire surrounds once they have been fitted, and this stunning Longridge Sandstone Farmhouse surround doesn't disappoint. We think that this made to measure surround looks fantastic and is sure to be a talking point in our customer's home for many years to come.
