# West Country Walling

West Country Walling is a specialist dry stone walling company based in Corsham, Wiltshire, dedicated to conserving and constructing durable stone walls and landscape features using traditional methods. Founded by Matthew Chapman and William Lawton, both skilled craftsmen trained in Cotswold Limestone techniques, the company has built an impressive portfolio of repairs and new builds throughout the local region.

The business serves homeowners, landowners, and heritage organisations seeking authentic stone walling work that respects traditional building practices. Their clients value craftsmanship, longevity and the preservation of countryside character—qualities that distinguish West Country Walling from modern construction approaches.

What sets them apart is their commitment to ancient building techniques, using only natural stone and hand tools to create walls designed to endure for generations. Rather than viewing their work as mere labour, the team takes genuine pride in outdoor craftsmanship and actively invests in the future of the trade through selective training programmes. This approach simultaneously serves practical client needs while safeguarding dry stone walling as a heritage craft.

Beyond standard wall construction, they offer comprehensive services spanning repairs, new builds, stone supply, landscaping integration, and ongoing maintenance. Their willingness to tackle bespoke projects—from moongate features to period-appropriate boundary walls—demonstrates flexibility alongside their traditional expertise.

West Country Walling represents a rare combination: a commercially viable business that prioritises authentic methods, quality outcomes, and generational knowledge transfer.
