Case Study - Roxwell Church
Danbury Handmade tiles showcased on Roxwell Church
St Michael and All Angels Church sits prominently in the centre of Roxwell, a small village just outside Chelmsford, Essex. The church can trace its origins back to the 14th Century with many modifications and enlargements occurring over its long history. Added to the listed buildings register in 1967 due to the quality of medieval architecture and fabric of the building, along with monuments and furnishings.
The restoration project has been championed by local residents. A lot of hard work and effort has been put in to secure funding for the project. The existing roof was fitted in the early 1900s and finding a close match to the existing peg tiles was an important part of retaining the character of this vital community asset.
Bakers of Danbury were chosen as principal builders and we were pleased to be able to supply them with the Stoneleaf Danbury Handmade Plain Tiles in Red Blend. The natural clay tiles have a unique character and were chosen as the closest match to the original tiles (although not many of those were left after lots of patchwork repairs over the years.)
