Simon’s early inspiration for carving stone was Lincoln Cathedral, living & studying conservation & restoration in Lincoln.

Followed by studying stone masonry at York College and work as a stone mason on various historic buildings and bridges in the north.

A few years later he came south to study historic architectural stone carving at Londons City and Guilds Arts School, where he won awards for outstanding sculpture and letter carving. Simon went on to work for Westminster Abbey and School, for the Worshipful Company of Skinners Guildhall, he has carving work on several churches and historic buildings around London and has participated in public art works all over the south.

In the last twenty nine years Simon has been grateful to carve many varied private commissions which have taken him all over the UK and abroad. Simon is now based in his home studio near Guildford doing sculptural and letter carving commissions and memorials, as well as working on his own sculptural art works. He is also an MA qualified highly experienced teacher of the traditional stone carving craft.
