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.

We have recently had a new fireplace made and fitted by Robin Winterton and his team at the Stone Fireplace Company and we’re absolutely delighted with it. The quality and design is everything we wanted and the finished result is wonderful. From the beginning, Robin’s advice and experience helped us choose the right stone to suit our room and we looked at several designs with him, in the workshop and online, before making our final choice. It has been much admired!! Thank you to Robin and team at The Stone Fireplace Company.

Right from the first time we met Robin it was clear how passionate he was about his work and how committed he was to offering excellent customer service. We were able to talk through what we wanted to create in our period home and Robin was extremely helpful in shaping our concept. The time spent in the workshop was invaluable and resulted in the most amazing creation. Robin kept us updated throughout and provided detailed photos of the fireplace as it was created. We are so thrilled with the finished fireplace and everybody comments on the quality the moment they walk into the room. We would have
