Wealden Sussex Sandstone

Wealden Sussex Traditional Diagonal Tooled Walling (TDTW)

The tooled surfaces of this natural sandstone walling have a soft, weathered appearance, making it ideal for restorations, subtle extensions and for new builds that want to blend into their environment.

The 45-degree tooled finish to this stone ashlar was introduced into England by the Normans. It can be seen in many notable buildings in the South East, including Battle Abbey (1068) and Rudyard Kipling's house, Bateman's.

It is water tooled to ensure this natural stone ashlar can be competitively priced. The tool marks on our traditional Wealden Sussex Sandstone are softer than on our Fine or Course Hand Tooled Walling.
