How about a boat or bus trip to Torquay and whilst there you can explore Britain’s most important ornamental stone industry at Torquay muesum with a new gallery dedicated to the Artisans of the Torbay Marble Industry!
From the early 19th century local family dynasties of marble masons grew. These pioneering marble workers specialised in not only quarrying and transporting the raw material, but also cutting and finishing beautiful products for churches, cathedrals and fine building interiors across Britain and the world.
Discover the story of the Woodleys, Grants, Blacklers and Jenkins through some of the exquisite items they produced, and how they developed Torbay’s most important export spanning over 200 years
