Maentwrog Rectory

This old rectory, settled in Maentwrog, dates back to the 19th century along with Plas Tan-Y-Bwlch, both being constructed by the Oakley family. Originally, these buildings were built using rustic shael from Gelli Green quarry; however, with its disuse , this stone is now lost. This provided our masons with a challenge when its walls required repair needed us to acquire materials that resemble the stone from the original building. To replicate this unique stone, we asked a local quarry to keep any matching stone, with some measuring up to 14 feet. After six months of searching through the stone, our masons had enough material to immerse into the rest of the building, restoring its former appearance.
