Recently completed project within the Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and St Joseph. Project involved the careful dismantling and re-building of the existing limestone lectern complete with larger and higher bookrest and hinged step for use by children. Made allowance for alterations to sound system and ensured the original Steven Foster carved panel remained 'in tact' and unchanged. Further Steven carved limestone artwork, removed from recently closed Carmelite Monastery Chapel, converted using matching salvaged limestone and installed as statue support brackets and decoration to existing Blessed Sacrament podium.
