Services
We have many years' experience of working on reordering schemes. The projects vary from installation of disabled toilets and access ramps to complete reordering including pew removal, new entrances, installation of social facilities and new heating. We have also worked on many new lighting schemes and church furniture designs.
Much of the fabric of the Holy Trinity church, Skipton dates from the 14th and 15th centuries, though the church was restored following the English Civil War (1642-1651) by Ann Clifford who was also responsible for restoring Skipton Castle. It contains 16th and 17th century tombs of the Clifford family and stained glass by Kempe an Capronnier.
St Alkeldas is a very fine Grade I listed church in Giggleswick dating from the 15th century. In 2011 we were appointed to design and oversee the reordering work to the church. The works included removing some of the pews to create a meeting space at the west end of the church and an exhibition space in the North Aisle.
Sacred Heart RC Church was opened in 1879 and is home to some fine examples of Dalle de Verre glass which was installed in the 1960's and 1970's.
