Roofing in Stone-in-Oxney

Stone-in-Oxney sits on the ridge of what was once a genuine island before the surrounding marshland was drained. The church and the handful of houses around it stand higher than most of the land for miles, which means roofs here catch wind that the sheltered villages don't.

It's a longer trip from Tenterden than most of the villages we cover, out past Wittersham and along narrow lanes, but it's still well within reach for repairs, re-roofing and chimney work. We just plan the day around it rather than treating it as a quick drop-in.

A scatter of brick and tile-hung farmhouses and cottages sit along the ridge, many with uninterrupted exposure to wind off the Levels. Older roofs tend to be plain tiled, with some slate on Victorian additions, and chimneys are often tall to clear the exposed roof line.
