The Nursery Bellturret
This photograph shows the condition of the arch course of stonework before repair. The original concealed iron band had rusted and spalled off the outer faces of the stonework leaving this structure in a rather precarious state.

The iron band was removed after dismantling the stonework and replaced with a new stainless steel band.
The arch course stonework was renewed and will soon weather in to match.
This photograph shows the Bellturret on completion of the work.
