Our Story
Set in the heart of Cornwall Lantoom’s story begins 395 million years ago, with the forming of our stone during the Devonian period. Throughout the millions of years that followed water has deposited minerals onto the stone faces, giving them the characteristic Lantoom brown face we know today. (For a more in depth look into the forming of Lantoom stone please see the Geology Page). Skipping forward millions of years brings us to 1964. This is when Lantoom Quarry started trading its stone. The quarry is owned by the Crocker family and has been passed down through the family for generations.
Today Lantoom boasts a large range of products. All of which can be found on this website.
