Lowe's Marble and Granite is based in the village of Middleton by Wirksworth in rural Derbyshire and we are the sole suppliers of the world renowned Hopton Wood Limestone.

Hopton Wood Limestone has been used extensively in the past on buildings of character and prestige such as the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Litchfield Cathedral, Calke Abbey plus many other local properties.  

Known in the 19th century as Derbyshire 'Marble' due to its ability to take a very fine and highly polished finish such as a marble. These characteristics make it ideal for fine quality works such as fireplaces, hearths, floors, skirting, dado rails, architraves and intricate mouldings of all types as well as carving and letter cutting.

Hopton Wood Limestone is widely used for restoration projects throughout England on listed buildings, as well as new, this quality stone is equally at home in either a country cottage or the finest cathedral.

Loved by architects and designers together with craftsmen who work the stone, letter cutters, sculptors and masons.

Hopton Wood is of the 'strong and silent' type; it's subtle tones of light grey/buff make it quietly confident in its place as one of the world's great natural stones.
