✨ Treasure Hoard: The mwd at St. Benedict, Gyffin, Conwy
I love the concept of a canopy of honour. It hovers like a rainbow over the altar - embracing and protecting the most sacred of places.
✨ Treasure Hoard: The clasp and latch at Tuxlith Chapel, West Sussex
Not everything needs to be shiny and new to be perfect. Because of its age and patina, this latch from Tuxlith Chapel, West Sussex, has achieved a status beyond utility.
✨ Treasure Hoard: The Flemish 'Dragon' chest, St. Michael's, Alnwick, Northumberland
It is furniture transformed into a wonderful medieval bestiary.
✨ Treasure Hoard: Mother and child sculpture, Long Street Methodist Church, Middleton
It is so small in scale to the great nave it is situated in, but powerful beyond its size in its impact.
✨ Treasure Hoard: Storied Gable, De Vaux Place, Salisbury, Wiltshire
There's something that is endearing about the building - a home spliced between two other buildings of differing functions.
✨ Treasure Hoard: The Ghost Signs at the Queen's Stores, Liverpool
These buildings are a strong reminder of Liverpool's industrial heritage. How long will these ghost signs last for - material survivals that reach back to an age of sailmakers and chandlers?
✨ Treasure Hoard: The pulley holding medieval figure at St. Eilian

✨ Treasure Hoard: The gadrooning at Preston Bus Station
In its form and detail it references (intended or not) other architectural traditions and types.
