Another week, another church. Pirbright this week. Parts of original church date back to 12th century. Modern church is mainly late Georgian.

Replacement of Galble end copings at Oxenford Farm.

Carved in York Sand Stone. Stepped copings to match originals that slid off the gable when springer failed.

Facebook has informed me we haven't posted for exactly a year! Its been one of those years. Red tape and delays. Finally getting back on track thanks to a bit of graft.

First couple of pieces done for gable repairs. Lovely York Buff Sandstone supplied by Northern Stone.

This is not what you want to happen. Classic coping slide. Luckily Stone already in hand for opposite ends of building. Important to keep on top of those or buildings.

Pebbledash repair at cobham Church, Surrey. Never thought I would enjoy pebble dashing but I must admit end result is very satisfying.

Chuck parapet wall capping at Liss Church Hampshire. Now we've got to fit it 🤔

All in a days work for a Stone Mason. Ingenious method by wise member of team to lift large copings up 60 foot Church tower. Test ✅. Now just to get the stuff up there 🤔

New Climark, Sandstone, window on local farm house. Carving and fitting.

Woodham Church chimney repairs. Disused but maybe required in next 5 years.
One of those jobs situated directly above a roof on all sides. From the ground the work looked straight forward but when we had access there was much more to do.
Iron strap was removed as it was causing more trouble than it was solving. Overall end result was good.

Local family grave restoration. Amazing what you can do with a diamond core doll bit and stainless steel pin.

St Albans Church, Hindhead. It was a mammoth job over 20 months. These are the phase 3 photos.
