Our gratitude, as ever, to the National Heritage Memorial Fund, Cadw, and everyone who donated and saved this church.
And of course to the contractors, Tree & Sons and architect, Andrew Faulkner, for their superb work.
Seen here with our Director, Rachel, and QS, Ian Walker.

I wondered what the Koh-I-Noor looked like after it was recut from the original of 191 carats to 105.6 in 1852. Now I know because the distinguished horologist Lewis Walduck brought me his replica and here they are for comparison in a way quite impossible to do in reality!

The coat of arms on the Cope monument at St Peter, Hanwell is guarded by a very frilly lion, trying desperately to be fierce and not really managing it.
