Barham - The Fountain Jigsaw Puzzle

Back on site in Barham, Kent and things are proceeding very well. We are now installing an old stone fountain  around the concrete base built last week.

The fountain has been bought to Kent from an estate in Derbyshire and, as you can see from the pictures above, will add an immediate 'aged' feel to what is a new feature for the garden.

Prior to installation, our team have had to remove the old, reinforced mortar, from the stones. This is a job which clearly requires a high degree of care and control so as not to damage the stones themselves.
