About

Fine statuary, made to order

Pennard Stone takes its name from the Pennard country below Glastonbury Tor — a stretch of Somerset where stone has always been worked, weathered and passed on. Pennard Stone began with a handful of pieces commissioned for our own garden, and grew the way these things do: slowly, one good figure at a time.

Today we offer a considered collection of cast and reconstituted stone statuary — classical figures and animals, from a draped maiden to a standing stag. Each piece is cast to order in Somerset, finished by hand, and delivered ready for its place in your garden.

How we choose

What we look for

  • Form

    A piece has to hold its silhouette from across a lawn, not just up close. We approve far fewer castings than we consider, and keep only those with real sculptural presence.

  • Finish

    Each piece is finished by hand, and cast stone only improves outdoors — softening and greying into its setting season by season. We will advise on the right finish for yours.

  • Character

    A tilted head, a patient hound, a smile met at close quarters on a path. If a figure has no character of its own, it does not enter the collection.

Honest stone, honestly described

Each piece carries a plain description: the stone it is cast in, its height, and anything worth knowing about its casting and finish.

Call or write about any piece and we will confirm lead times, discuss delivery anywhere in the UK, and advise on siting, plinths and fixing. If you are nearby, you are welcome to visit the studio by appointment.
