Minster Masons' Award
Published: on 4th November 2003 by Eleanor Course in Press Releases
The York Guild of Building has given an award of merit to a team of masons from the Minster Stoneyard. The award was presented for the re-laying of the Western Crypt floor, to a design by the Surveyor of the Fabric, Mr Richard Carr-Archer. The Western Crypt was re-tiled in April 2003.
The Superintendent of the Works at the Minster, Mr Steve Mills said "The new floor has made an immense difference to the 'feel' of the whole of the Western Crypt, lightening the whole area. The accuracy and quality of the finish is superb". The five men who were involved are, Simon Trotter, Jason Parmley, Richard Bradley, Mick Thompson and Ernie Brown (sawyer). They will receive their certificates at the Guild's annual dinner on 20th November 2003.
The York Guild of Building was founded in 1954 to encourage communication between the many different sections of the building industry. It has as its objectives the advancement of design, management, science and craft in building and the encouragement of a better understanding of the problems and achievements of those engaged in the building trade.
