quality stone-work and tuition.

Stone carving courses, bespoke memorials & inscriptions, near Salisbury, Wiltshire

We provide excellent stonework of all kinds, specialising in the design and production of memorials and inscriptions, and in the teaching of stone-carving.

We have the skills to create and install distinctive stonework and sculpture, suitable for both internal and external spaces. All commissions are hand carved, the only restriction on what can be made is dictated by the material and the imagination.

Based in Salisbury, Wiltshire, for over 20 years, our studio is located in Bowerchalke in the Chalke Valley. It is a light and spacious place in which to work on bespoke commissions and to teach.

Bespoke memorials and inscriptions in stone

We work with bereaved families and institutions to make a fitting memorial for their loved ones, creating a design representing and celebrating their life. Uniquely people can be involved in both the design and the carving of the memorial itself. Memorials range from small plaques to headstones and sculptural pieces.

Henry Gray’s workmanship was first class and he and his colleagues kept me fully informed at all stages of the process: a beautiful headstone lovingly produced. Altogether first rate work.

We wanted to commission a memorial for our late parents. Henry and Tamsin were so helpful from start to finish. We decided upon a saddle stone with engraved sides. They kept us updated all the way through the project and met our expectations.

We are delighted with the result which is now in situ in private family woods.

Thank you.

I would highly recommend this to anyone regardless of whether you have any experience.
I have always admired the art of stone carving and after spending a day at Grays Studio, I completed my first piece of stone art. Great advice, support and guidance given by Henry, from drawing your design onto stone, how to handle chisels etc. I now feel confident to continue solely and to also attend again for further advice on techniques.
The lunch was fantastic and a really friendly atmosphere. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.
