Today, we’re back at one of our stone conservation team’s projects in Tenbury, for our final completion meeting with Building Control. In addition to the masonry conservation work on the façades and the removal of an extensive dry rot outbreak in the roof and parts of the masonry structure, we also provided disabled access to the church, along with new kitchen and toilet facilities, all designed to complement the heritage setting.

Our apprentice mason Gabe getting some tutelage on templating approaches by expert mason Paul, on our project with @insallarch to conserve parts of St Mary’s Church in Nantwich - traditional skills may be under threat, but projects like this help to ensure we can do our bit to keep them alive!

Some of our masons are back training with @canolfantywicentre for a few weeks - working towards their NVQ in Heritage Stone Masonry course.
We love being able to support talented and committed members of our team - helping them develop their skills and doing our bit for the skills shortage in Built Heritage the likes of @cadwcymruwales and @historicengland regularly show through their research.

This weeks #masonrymonday might not be one of our projects, but we couldn’t help posting this shot of the imposing gatehouse of #lancastercastle from some of our teams trip to #lancaster on Friday.
We were attending a celebration to mark the end of the @historicengland Heritage Building Skills Summer School that one of our trainees has been attending. It was fantastic to see a room filled with future conservators of a range of material specialisms, from #masons to #stainedglass workers and everything in between! Well done all involved, including trainees from our friends @barleystudioinc.hw @the_works_department

Have we ever said that one of our things is working with masonry and glass? It might seem obvious but stone and glass go hand-in-hand across all sorts of British architecture, from the vernacular to the polite. So unsurprisingly having our dedicated masonry conservators and glass conservators @recclesia_stained_glass working together removes liaison issues other conservators might have between traditional trades/craft.
This window is one of those our team will be working to conserve as part of a wider programme of masonry repair works to the grade I listed St Mary’s Church in Nantwich - sometimes called The Cathedral of South Cheshire - a place all of our team have done many a project over the years and we’re proud to help preserve its rich heritage once again with the Church Architects from @insallarch. Over the coming months we’ll be carrying out a range of stone conservation work to the north elevation, along with a specialist stained glass survey so watch this space for more updates.
