The Collegiate Church of St Mary is a Church of England parish church in Warwick. It is grade I listed, and a member of the Major Churches Network. St Mary’s was founded on its present site in 1123 by Roger de Newburgh, the Earl of Warwick.
The church, along with much of Warwick, was devastated by the Great Fire of Warwick in 1693. The nave and tower of the building were completely destroyed. In 1704, the rebuilt church was completed in a Gothic design by William Wilson. The tower rises to the height of 130 feet (40 m).
Standing proudly at the top of the tower are 4 weathervanes, this is where come into play. We were appointed to restore and conserve the 4 prestigious weathervanes. We will be posting a series of images to show the attention to detail that has gone into the conservation of these wonderful artefacts.
We would like to thank everyone involved in this project and for the honour of working on this piece of history.
