A front door always works hard and this one finally needed some renewable resourcing in the form of stripping and re-leading.
All the original glass was salvaged and returned to exactly the same position after a clean and a polish – new internal steels along with new lead came added for core support and externally the copper ties for the re-bars were refitted. This door should now be ready for another 100 years of service.
The door is tucked away on a lovely remote farm in Stanton near Bury St Edmunds
The Parish of Stanton straddles the A143 road roughly midway between Diss and Bury St Edmunds in West Suffolk.
