Stone Technical Services also carried out steeple, spire and tower restoration on masonry, ironwork, weathervanes and rainwater systems.
Recent examples include: -
- St Patrick’s, Patrington- high level spire repairs and rebuilding and specialised pinnacle renewal on the church. Stone also carried out extensive repair work on St Patrick’s following the much-publicised earthquake. Patrington was close to the epicentre and the church suffered spire and pinnacle damage.
- St John the Evangelist, Middlesbrough- refurbishment and repair of the spire tower, specialist masonry repair work, re-roofing and the replacement of stained glass windows on the church, which dates back to 1865.
- St Laurence, York- rebuilding of the church’s spire and re-roofing of the Lady Chapel which is home to a Jacobean alter table and parish chest dating back to 1701. Stone also completed repair work on the stained glass windows at St Laurence’s.
- St James’s Parish Church, Thorpe Thewles, Stockton-on-Tees- Stone rebuilt the top of the spire and preserved the old stonemasonry which specialists at the company then used to make tea light holders and paperweights. All of the money raised is being donated back to St James’s to top up church funds. In addition to renovation work on the spire, Stone also rejuvenated and gold-leaf gilded the weather cockerel which can now be seen for miles around.
