In the heart of Essex, Lodge Builders and Sons have been hard at work on a project close to our hearts—restoring the southeast church windows of our Lady Chapel. This work involves not just repair but a true revival of ancient craftsmanship, bringing our beloved building back to its former glory.Lodge Builders and Sons specialize in stonemasonry, a trade that blends art with science. From the moment the stone is sourced, every piece is selected with care to ensure it matches the existing structure. The stonemasons then cut, shape, and carve each block with incredible precision, ensuring every mullion, sill, and arch aligns perfectly with the church’s original design.Their work on the external stone masonry is nothing short of masterful. With the use of traditional tools and techniques, they carefully remove weathered and damaged stone, carving out intricate patterns and features that mirror the historical elements of the chapel. The replacement stones are expertly fitted, maintaining the structural integrity and aesthetic beauty of the church. Each piece is measured and installed with a level of detail that only comes from years of dedication and experience.Through their efforts, Lodge Builders and Sons are not just restoring stone; they are preserving the legacy and spiritual heritage of our community. This meticulous work ensures that future generations can continue to find solace and inspiration in these sacred spaces.Stay tuned for more updates and video footage showcasing the incredible journey of our chapel’s restoration, thanks to the unmatched skill and dedication of Lodge Builders and Sons.
