The central feature of the courtyard was a new pond built using Gothic Folly components and featuring a Copular Fountain. Decorating the courtyard were various pieces from our collection of Old Stone Troughs and the two ‘rooms’ beyond were the homes for our Granite and Classical displays.

The left side of the courtyard had a Reclamation and a Terracotta display with the cobbled pathway leading to an Antiques showroom under the Roman Arch. Beyond the arch were our Manor House Gate Piers and a beautiful hand carved ‘Autumn’, one of a set of Four Seasons Statues.

And last but not least our ‘Jungle’ corner. These sandstone, white and travertine marble animals had to be caged behind bars at the Show but can be seen roaming free amongst all the other treasures featured at The Stoneworks Factory Shop, West Horrington, Wells, Somerset.

Normal Opening Hours: Mon – Fri, 9.00 to 5.00, Sat, 9.00 to 1.00
