I'd actually try cycling gloves.

Like these: https://www.wiggle.co.uk/endura-strike-ii-gloves/

^ can't speak to the "ii", but my OG ones are excellent.

Anyone got a recommendation for warm gloves that won’t take on water please? I’m building a dry stone wall and frequently handling wet stone.

I’m keeping warm and dry apart from my hands which is absolutely miserable.

latex gloves as liners

The very best, and not expensive at all, are Showa 281 and 282.

I'd look at work gloves for the best value. I tend to get stuff from https://www.safetygloves.co.uk/ I think someone on here recommended the site.

Best gloves I have found for that type of work are Briers washable leather gloves
I treat them with a bit of nikwax waterproofing and use two pairs, letting one pair dry whilst the other is in use. If it's really cold I put a thin fleece inner glove on first.
