Kentish Ragstone is an important natural resource and is one of the most widespread building stones used throughout the South East of England. It has been used for over 2000 years as an attractive and functional building stone for many buildings in and around the Kent area, and for famous buildings in London, eg The Tower of London. Kentish Ragstone is being increasingly specified by architects as awareness of its attributes grow.
