A 100 foot chain block was used to lift the stones. This is the biggest of the two being lifted.
Lifting the crown stone. This was the only stone that survived the fall intact. Before rebuilding it we drilled and dowelled through it at multiple points, in case it had been weakened.
The two new stones now in place.
Lifting the crown stone into postition.
Waterwashing the spire after the building phase. Although the new stone matched the underlying true colour of the existing masonry, the external surfaces of the spire had become much darker over the years so we had to clean the spire to tone down the difference in colour.
Work on the spire completed.
