Church Monuments
We are specialists in the repair and conservation of church monuments, ranging from medieval effigies and tombs to nineteenth century marble cantilevered monuments. Work may include dismantling and structural repair, relocation and isolation or analysis and stabilisation of polychrome surface layers.
We also undertake repairs to external churchyard monuments, including major structural dismantling and rebuilding projects.
