Staddle stones have been used as Garden Antiques since the 1920's, often they are referred to as - staddles, rick stones toadstools or mushrooms.

Over 200 years ago Staddlestones would have been hand made from the local stone, quite simply to support agricultural buildings such as granaries, raising them some two feet or so off the ground in an attempt to prevent vermin and water from reaching the stores.

More Information On Staddle Stones

Staddle Stones

Originally used as supporting bases for granaries, hayricks and game larders - staddle stones were carved from local stone by stone masons. An important job in years gone by, staddle stones were not for ornamental use like they are today.

The stones lifted the granaries above the ground to protect the stored grain from vermin and water seepage. This was an innovative design as the vermin could not get over the lip of the top of the staddle stone. The top was separate from the base and gave a structure with a mushroom appearance.

Today, they are used for decorative pieces in the garden and are effective as a centrepiece. They can often be seen to line a driveway to create an impact at the entrance of a property.
