Our stunning Bancroft Riven York Stone coping is quarried and hand-finished by our skilled stonemasons in Bradford using the best-quality slab rock you’ll find in the area (and in the world, in our opinion). The hand-dressed edge finish is a traditional technique created with a hammer and chisel. It’s time-consuming and highly demanding, but the resulting riven texture is simply impossible to achieve any other way. Bancroft stone has a slight veining, and the inconsistent colouration and natural markings gives it a highly distinctive look that will last you a lifetime and more. If you do choose our Bancroft Riven, we recommend using a natural stone sealant.

As all of our stone is a quarried natural material, variations may occur in mineral content and there may also be slight marks or veining on the stone.

You can request a free sample of this York Stone product so you can get a feel for the look and texture, and although we try our best to ensure the sample is as close to the product as possible, we are unable to guarantee an exact replication of the sample provided. Please wet your sample to get an idea of how the stone will look when wet.

As with most things in life, they look different when dry or wet, and that's the same with our York Stone! Please see the colour variations icon to see the product when dry and when wet. There may also be a few images in the image gallery to show the difference.
