House Names

A quick glance at an inscribed stone will normally indicate that ‘something important happened here.’

Why not turn that into the continuous present and say ‘something important ‘happens’ here’?

It is quoted that ‘an Englishman’s castle is his home’ – that people have the right to do what they want in their own home, so why not name it and be proud of your ‘castle’?

A stone inscription will say quite a lot about you as the homeowner and about the home itself. Stone, being one of the most enduring materials implies an appreciation for things that last. A beautifully inscribed house name reflects that you take pride in the place and suggests that your home is more than just a building.

The investment in a stone inscription for your house name will demonstrate that you appreciate craftsmanship; detail, design and artisanal work, and that your home has character and is more than simply a dwelling. Stone signage signals stability and gives the impression that you home is meant to endure and be remembered.

Marriage stones are traditional in Jersey and are often found in old houses, cottages and farm buildings, often as a lintel, but they can also be free-standing.

The stone commemorates a marriage, but its purpose goes much deeper than decoration. The inscription is a mark of remembrance too about the bond between two people possibly telling the date of the marriage, the time that the house was built or when the couple moved to that place and built and house and home together.

It is quite common to include a symbol as part of the inscription, maybe of hearts, clasped hands, crowns or a family crest.

Historically marriage stones were used to record lineage and heritage, long before written records were common. The stone identifies previous generations and marks important dates linking the house to the family that built or owned it.

Let us create a meaningful, symbolic marker that celebrates your marriage and roots to a family home to preserve heritage across generations.
