| Church
spire repairs seen by millions
Acanthus Clews’ repair work to the soaring spire of St Mary’s Church, Bloxham was seen on 21st May in an episode of Channel 4’s Tony Robinson series, The Worst Jobs in History.
Tony
Robinson decided to join architect Andrew Salter and the specialist
steeplejacks inspecting the progress of the works at the top
of the two hundred foot spire.
The
intricate repairs benefited from English Heritage grant funding,
which requires that only RIBA/AABC accredited architects work
on these projects. Acanthus Clews’ Andrew Salter, founder Michael Clews and Dr David Pendery are three of just seven accredited in the whole of Oxfordshire.
