Founded in 1968 by Bernard Vanhinsbergh
Shothanger Farm, 1966
“Founded in 1968 by Bernard Vanhinsbergh, Stone Circle has been providing its customers with high-quality stone products for over 50 years. Bernard, a self-taught stone carver and letter cutter, believed in providing superb quality and unparalleled service to his customers.
A collection of abandoned farm buildings, Shothanger was bought by Bernie in 1982. Over the years since, we have expanded the workshops, offices, showroom and yard to enable us to be one of the leading masonry companies in the UK.”
Raw Material from All Over the World
“Today, led by Jeff and Steve Vanhinsbergh, Stone Circle continues to honour its founders' philosophy by sourcing raw materials from all over the world and using their latest technology and equipment to produce high-quality products.”

Advanced Technology meets Traditional Craftsmanship
“Most of our machines are computer numerically controlled, providing excellent accuracy and improved productivity. However, we still value traditional hand skills and employ skilled masons and carry out the final finishing and quality control by hand.”
From Private Residences to the Hospitality and Retail Sectors
“Our work can be seen in private residences throughout the country. We don't just work for the residential sector. We're working with contractors, designers and architects who have completed many prestigious projects in the hospitality and retail sectors. From stylish hotels and restaurants to chic department stores and boutiques, Stone Circle has a proven track record of delivering high-quality products and services.”
We Take Our Environmental Responsibilities Seriously
“At Stone Circle, we take our environmental responsibilities seriously. We have implemented several measures to reduce our impact, such as rain and production water recycling, which makes us almost self-sufficient in water. We also use solar panels to provide 40kWh of electricity. And surplus stone from production is collected and crushed for the use in construction.”
