Company History
James Pepper established his stonemasonry business in Shefford in 1886. Renowned for his exceptional craftsmanship and expertise in stone carving, he quickly gained recognition in the field. By 1894, the business relocated to its current premises in Hitchin, continuing its legacy of quality and artistry.
In 1896, Geere & Co. was founded in Luton by the Geere family, also specialising in stonemasonry. The company later acquired James Pepper’s business, leading to the formation of the partnership known as Geere & Pepper.
Today, the combined legacy of these two historic firms is carried forward by the current owners — a family now in its third generation of memorial masons, dedicated to upholding the tradition of excellence in stonework.
