Lovely to see a write-up in the RAF news – 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘀’ 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 by Tracey Allen.

The article highlights that the work is now well underway on the £2 million restoration of the historic steeple of St Clement Danes Church, the RAF church in The Strand, London.

It is expected to be completed by the end of this year ahead of a rededication in 2026.

USL specialist conservation team are currently dismantling the structure and removing the distinctive stones which are evaluated by the senior team for repair or replacement in Portland stone to maintain the Grade I listed church’s appearance.

Trustee Delva Patman commented: “It’s an exciting project, painstaking work and a big responsibility for everyone involved. It’s a bit like a jigsaw, taking it down and reassembling it but with new bits added in.  There are associated works with the rebuilding such as regilding of the weathervane and the sundial will be repaired and regilded – there’s a lot going on.”

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