Guildhall City of

London Monuments

Guildhall Art Gallery

Nimbus Conservation has worked extensively in the City of London and whilst I was a partner  in the firm I had the opportunity to work on two of the great monuments in the Guildhall  William Beckford and Pitt the younger both pictured left. It was a great pleasure working with Vivian Knight the curator who is a wonderful enthusiast and encourager who helped me immensely. Sally Strachey and Geoffrey Preston also worked on Nelson and Pitt the Elder. We had to evolve some unusual and interesting strategies to get the work done because the building was in frequent use for important functions much of the time.

 

Later on my own account I was invited by Richard Gilbert Scott to make proposals for for statues to be placed in the ambulatory of the new Art Gallery he was building. Pictures right show Dick Whittingtion and Charity.
