Expert stone carvers for sculpture and architectural stonework
Cliveden Conservation has over 35 years of experience conserving world-class statuary, monuments and decorative stonework in churches, cathedrals and private estates all over the UK.
Our award-winning stone carvers are specialists in creating fine detailing, matching historic carvings and restoring statutory and architectural stonework. We carry out bespoke commissions for newly carved pieces using sustainable stone sources and repair stone sculptures and architectural elements using traditional techniques and materials. Replacement statuary and decorative stone elements are carved in-house at one of our three regional workshops.
STATUARY RESTORATION
We have extensive experience in the conservation of historic statues and religious statuary restoration. Our stone carvers work closely with clients throughout the process. We present drawings and small-scale maquettes to ensure that the final piece of carving meets the brief and is suitable for installation.
We can replicate and repair stone carvings using photographs and other historical evidence where details of the original carvings have eroded over time.
DECORATIVE STONEWORK
Our award-winning stone carvers have the skill and experience to repair or restore decorative stonework, including architectural carvings and mouldings typically found in churches and cathedrals.
We can also hand-carve custom pieces of stone, from decorative finials to elaborate fireplace mantels.

“We selected Cliveden Conservation for this work as we were extremely impressed with their portfolio of high-profile work. Looking at the completed Cromer War Memorial, I knew we made the correct decision. It is a memorial the people of Cromer are proud of and will remind them of the ultimate sacrifice paid by so many on our behalf.”
“When we remember what the Memorial looked like 18 months ago to how it looks now, I and everyone in the town am extremely grateful to Cliveden Conservation for the high quality of work they have achieved on our Memorial”
Cllr. David Pritchard, Mayor of Cromer
