Bringing medieval tombs back to life

Available for over a year

St Bartholomew's Church in Tong is steeped in history, with links to Dickens, and text written for the church by Shakespeare. The church also has medieval tombs, including one of Sir Henry Vernon, an advisor to Henry VII, and his wife. But these ornate tombs need restoring to show off the medieval paintwork which once decorated them. ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Shropshire's Mark Elliott went to find out how you restore stonework that could be 700 years old.
