Helping clients to create bespoke hand crafted memorials and lettering
All commissions are hand carved, and we work with you collaboratively to make an appropriate and meaningful commemoration. Offering our skills to design, make and install unique and distinctive memorials and inscriptions, suitable for individuals and organisations. Based near Salisbury, Wiltshire, for over 30 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.
We work with bereaved families to make a fitting memorial. We have no catalogue, so we create a design representing and celebrating the life of the deceased with you. Uniquely, you can be involved in the design work and, if desired/practical, with the carving of the memorial itself.

Our term time and weekend classes are for all abilities in a warm, supportive environment. Complete beginners will be guided through the whole process, taught good working practice, tool handling and the basic stone carving techniques. The emphasis for those with some experience will be on improving their technique.

Memorial Testimonial
Grays Stone Carving Studio did an amazing job on our house sign. The entire process, from planning to execution, went perfectly. We loved the result. I can highly recommend their services.

Commission Testimonial
We had a fantastic day as a family celebrating a milestone birthday. Henry is a very accomplished teacher and we each came away with a beautiful carving, lasting memories and full stomachs (the homemade lunch and cake were wonderful).

Great family stone carving day. Well guided with just the right level of intervention for each participant. Surprising how much we were able to achieve in the day alongside the interesting conversations and wholesome food. Highly recommended.
