Our Directors, Andrew Ziminski and Andrew Sharland, met in 1991 whilst attending the Postgraduate Stone Conservation course at Weymouth College in Dorset and went on to gain further experience by working for Salisbury Cathedral Works Department. Our company development continued in 1998 when Andrew Ziminski was awarded a William Morris Craft Fellowship by the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings. This advanced training scheme gave Andrew a unique insight into the most sympathetic repair techniques to historic buildings.
- More recent works range from carrying out extensive repairs to the medieval bridge in Bradford on Avon for the Town Council to replastering in lime and limewashing a large cob and brick cottage in the Wylye valley.
2004 has seen Minerva go from strength to strength. Whilst working hard at a redundant church in Luffincott in Cornwall for the Churches Conservation Trust we were lucky enough to be invited to take part in the BBC's Restoration programme. Minerva appeared in a feature in the South West's episode looking at traditional building materials and crafts such as Sheet lead roofing, lime plastering and stonemasonry.
