I'm wondering if I can obtain some sort of tasteful architectural
front-door surround from somewhere that can be fixed to the wall after
the doorway has been cut. Sort of like a fireplace surround, but made
for a front door out of some durable material that looks like stone -
and preferably not too expensive. The house ws built in 1900 but I
guess any historic-looking door surround might work... Georgian,
Neo-classical or whatever...

Anyone know of an inexpensive supply of such things? B&Q perhaps?

Thanks..

Try a web search in the UK, for the term "architectural millwork" and you
should get a few pointer on what you're looking for.
