Behind the Scenes Insight at St Clement Danes | New Stone Swag Carvings

Our workshop has been busy carving stone and we are pleased to share new progress photos – Talented stone mason John Starkey ‘known as Ziggy’ has created new swags for St Clement Danes Church steeple.

The Steeple Dismantling and Rebuilding Programme covers essential works, including stone dismantling, off-site stone cleaning and repairs, stone production and replacement, stone rebuilding and associated works to lead coverings, railings and weathervane. The rebuilding of the steeple will see each element reinstated in its exact initial position so as to not deviate from the original design.

This project is in collaboration with St Clement Danes, the RAF, Stace LLP, Sheppard Architects and Hurst Peirce + Malcolm LLP on the collaborative restoration of the steeple to ensure the protection and preservation of this historic church for future generations.
