STADDLE STONES |
| Traditionally
made of natural stone, a staddle stone is a Mushroom or
Toadstool shaped pillar/post, used to raise outbuildings
i.e. barns and granaries from ground level. This would
keep the stored material dry & keep rats and mice at
bay. Vermin found it difficult to negotiate the wide
overhanging top of the Staddle Stones. Staddle stones
have been a feature of the British countryside for
hundreds of years. They are now used mainly as garden ornaments and landscape features. In recent years concrete and reconstituted staddle stones have been available, but we are now able to offer a traditional Staddle Stone, hand crafted by local craftsmen in either Purbeck or Portland natural stone, quarried in the Isle of Purbeck, Dorset. |
