Lovelace Mausoleum:  Located at St. Martin’s Church East Horsley, Surrey.  This unique tomb elaborately decorated in brick elements was restored in 2008.  Creating new brick elements from scratch (below), forming moulds and hand shaping the required elements.  The project incorporated substantial mortar and cleaning work.

We were awarded a special award for craftsmanship from the Brick Development Association, for this particular work on the Lovelace Mausoleum at East Horsley in 2008.

Three single lite windows done in stainless steel for Priors Dene church. Unusual to be done in stainless, but a method was thoughtout and adapted to the job. These images are part way through the job with the lead and glass to be adapted from old widow frames. On going in late 2014.
