Barham School Slate Coasters

£40.00

These limited-edition coasters are so much more than a place to rest your morning cuppa- they carry the heart and history of Pembrokeshire. We’ve lovingly handcrafted each one from original blue Welsh slate, carefully salvaged from the fallen roof of the historic Barham Memorial School. Because we split every single piece by hand, no two are exactly alike, making your set a truly unique reminder of a building that means a lot to our community.

Why Your Purchase Matters

Best of all? 100% of the proceeds go directly toward funding a new roof for Barham School, helping us protect and stabilise this beautiful Grade II listed building for generations to come.

The Heritage Character

Because these slates spent over a century braving the Welsh elements, they are beautifully ‘perfectly imperfect’.

Rich Texture: Features rugged, authentic edges finished with a coat of food-safe mineral oil to bring out the slate's deep, natural character.

Historic Details: Look closely and you’ll find beautiful copper streaks, mineral deposits, or even the original hand-punched nail holes where they were secured to the roof generations ago.

  • In the Box: Sold as a beautifully matched set of 4 (approx. 4" x 4").

  • Surface Protection: Fitted with soft cork backing feet to protect your tables from scratches.

  • Authenticity: Every set includes a dedicated Certificate of Authenticity documenting the origin and story of your slate.

Please Note: While we have carefully smoothed away any sharp edges, raw slate remains a natural, rustic material. Please handle them with care.

Caring For Your Coasters

Because these coasters are made from authentic, century-old historic stone, a little simple care will keep them looking beautiful for years:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe them down with a damp cloth if they get dirty.
    Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbing pads.

  • Dishwasher Safe? Definitely not! Please keep them far away from the dishwasher and do not submerge them fully in water.

  • Refreshing the Finish: Over time, the slate may look a bit matte or dry. To restore that deep, rich colour and bring the copper streaks back to life, simply rub a tiny drop of standard food-safe mineral oil (or even a little olive oil onto the surface with a soft cloth.
