Over the years walls gradually weather and are attacked by frost and vegetation. This lovely wall along a bridleway will be repaired slowly over months. It is a beautiful place to work with birds and other wildlife in abundance. It is being built in the traditional manner without any mortar and with the familiar cock and hen tops. To be able to spend days here is to feel at one with nature and with the long history of wallers who have gone before. Because wallers seldom leave obvious marks their identities are seldom known to future generations. |

It was necessary to build a bridge over parts of the old beech tree roots. The cement capping was in keeping with the existing wall and much of the stone was reclaimed.
Tom also has a number of medium-term projects repairing old walls on local estates and gardens.
