Company Director Robin Winterton began his career as a stonemason with a four-year apprenticeship at York Minster. Robin has also been involved with restoration projects at Salisbury Cathedral, Beverley Minster and numerous prestigious buildings throughout the UK, including major restorations of Bolton Castle in Wensleydale, under the supervision of English Heritage.
Robin began making stone fire surrounds in 1992, and opened a showroom in Helmsley called The Hearth in 1996. The Stone Fireplace Company was formed in 2002, just a short distance from York Minster, but has now moved to our workshop at Sutton-on-the-Forest. Our company specialises in bespoke hand-carved limestone and sandstone fire surrounds, stone flooring and architectural stonemasonry.
We specialise in the design and manufacture of an extensive collection of hand-crafted fire surrounds, using a choice of 10 different sandstones and limestones. Three of our limestones have been used in the restoration of York Minster. Rosie is Robin's youngest child and after an extensive career in retail management decided to have a change of direction and come to train and work alongside her father.
