Removing old York stone kitchen floor and installing a new floor?

Hi, About to install a new kitchen which currently has an old York stone floor; the condition of it is very poor and beyond conceivable repair so we want to remove it. The house was built in circa 1890. The floor butts up against an original wooden floor in an adjoining room which we have had refurbished. The stones are 2" thick so we have a bit of height to build up. We would like to lay tiles on the final floor (to same level as wooden floor) so my question is what is the best solution? With the house being the age it is, we don't want to create a potential damp issue so that has to be taken into account, although the cellar itself is dry. Not a big room, approx 7ft x 11ft. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Cheers, SD
