Lapicida has been chosen to partner with English Heritage to create an exclusive collection of limestone floors in three formats inspired by the different flooring found in the buildings cared for by English Heritage.

Each stone is available in three formats: 400mm x 400mm square; 500mm x random flag; and 400mm x 400mm octagon with inserts. All are hand-finished with diamond brushing by the team at Lapicida for improved durability and gives each stone a distinctive character and an aged appearance:

• Blackfriars Cream was inspired Blackfriars Priory, Gloucester which dates back to the thirteenth-century and is one of the most complete surviving Dominican friaries. 
• Belsay Blue Beige takes inspiration from the Pillar Hall at Belsay Hall in Northumberland. Completed in 1817, it designed by the then owner Sir Charles Monck, inspired by the sites of antiquity he had seen on his honeymoon in Greece. 
• Brockhurst Blue was inspired by Fort Brockhurst in Hampshire that was built in the mid-nineteenth century, to defend England’s shores from a possible French invasion. 
• Built in the 1720s, Marble Hill in Twickenham was the inspiration for Marble Hill White. A Palladian-style building on the banks of the Thames in Twickenham, it's one of London’s finest historic houses.

Alexandra Bovey of English Heritage said: “English Heritage is delighted to collaborate with Lapicida. We identified them as the leading expert in high-quality natural stone flooring and it’s been a pleasure working with them to create a collection which takes inspiration from places in our care.”
