Hedgelaying, Planting, Drystone Walling, Garden features, House stonework, hedgelaying, teaching, illustrated talks, Training in Hedgelaying, Stonework, Drystone Walling

I live and work in the North York Moors area



I'm a qualified hedgelayer and have laid hedges in Ireland, Holland and in the UK. I'm also a drystone waller and have built houses (and walls), garden features, gate entrances in Ireland, Australia and in England.

I've been told I'm a bit of walling and hedgelaying nerd. But I don't mind it because it's normal. Doesn't everyone stop and take pictures of these when they are on holiday?

Some of the site contains my work along with pictures of hedges, walls and walling features from places I've visited. It should be pretty obvious which is my work.

Whitby Abbey

  
When Henry the 8th got rid of many religious institutions in the 1500s many buildings such as our abbey fell into disuse and their stone was recycled into buildings and walls.
And here we have a rather deliberate attempt to reuse some of the old cut and shaped stones.  You don't often see architectural features in walls so I was pleased I'd spotted this one.
