Steve Hogarth, Flint mason and slate roofer

Steve Hogarth from Derbyshire, was awarded the Endangered Crafts Fund in 2023 to add the skills of leadworking and flint masonry to his steeplejack business, maintaining the usefulness of traditional buildings without the impact of scaffolding.

Five of this round’s grants were funded by The Radcliffe Trust and were selected with special consideration of the impact of the energy crisis on our most vulnerable crafts.
