Chichester stonemason wins Heritage Award for work to Lancing College Chapel

Sponsored by Irwin Mitchell, the awards were announced by chairman, Simon Knight, at a sold-out awards lunch and ceremony at Pangdean Old Barn, Pyecombe this afternoon (Tuesday, July 4).

The awards are designed to recognise and reward high quality conservation, restoration and good design of newly built projects and encourage the use of traditional skills and crafts. Winners across ten categories from residential schemes to public and community buildings to commercial projects, are presented a hand-crafted slate plaque by the trust’s president, Lord Egremont, which is attached to the winning project.

Colin Macrae was instrumental in both working the stone himself and galvanising his team to deliver the completion of Lancing College Chapel.
