Haddonstone Celebrates Legacy of Iconic Garden Designs

Haddonstone, the UK’s leading manufacturer of premium garden and architectural cast stonework, celebrates the lasting legacy of five of its original outdoor designs.

Founded in 1971, the Northamptonshire brand initially sold just seven products. Each design was lovingly handcrafted by founder Bob Barrow, working out of his modest garage.

Fast forward to today, and five of these designs remain bestsellers in the range - an impressive feat given Haddonstone celebrates its 55th anniversary next year!

Haddonstone’s commitment to producing beautiful, durable, and handcrafted cast stone products has ensured these designs not only withstand the test of time but continue to enhance gardens year after year. 

The company’s success is a testament to the vision of its founder and the dedication of the talented craftsmen who continue to bring these pieces to life.

Bob's son, David Barrow has assumed the role of Managing Director and says:

“We are incredibly proud of the legacy these original designs have created. These products are symbols of the quality and craftsmanship that have defined Haddonstone for over five decades. It’s a privilege to see them continue to be loved and admired by our clients even to this day.”
