The Solution

The team at Haddonstone retrieved one of the original Warstone Lane Cemetery copings so that they could create perfect replications of it in their Northamptonshire manufactory.   It was essential that the new copings would perfectly replicate the size, scale and colour of the original stonework.

The team at Haddonstone worked meticulously to meet the client’s specification, creating bespoke moulds and working on an exact colour match, ensuring that the team could achieve the distinctive chocolate colour of the original copings.
