Masonry repair work to Chicksgrove Bridge, Tisbury, Wiltshire.
Dec 13, 2017
Over the summer of 2017 we have been working on the early C18th quarry Bridge across the River Nadder at Chicksgrove near Tisbury.
Working with Sam Wheeler at Phillip Hughes Associates, the project combined both traditional masonry techniques as well as Lime grouting, pinning and a palette of mortar repairs to match both the colour of the stone and the lichens that cover it.
Cutting new stone to match the old.
Abutment rebuilt
With the inclusion of a large Ammonite fossil that had been originally built in.
Newly fixed Chicksgrove stone from the adjacent quarry - trimmed in, dressed and finished. 
Final trimming in.
