ST PETER EALING
This is a Grade 2* listed church designed by the leading victorian arts and crafts architect J D Sedding, and completed by his Partner Henry Wilson. We have recently completed a roof and stone repair project. The pictures illustrate the stages of repairing the aisle turrets, where the timberwork below the lead had decayed. Both towers had to have extensive stone repairs including the new tracery to one of the windows.
The work was carried out by different contractors on each phase. A. F. Jones, stone masons from Reading carried out the work to the north and south sides, including the tracery and decorative corbels. M S Lock and Wells Cathedral stone masons were contractors for the work to the west elevation and Chapel Studios re-made the west window leaded glazing.
We were involved the design and specification of the project and with making applications to funding bodies including three large grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
