My friend Harry Brockway, who has died of cancer aged 65, was an artist specialising in wood engraving, sculpture, letter cutting and architectural stone carving.

For many years, he collaborated with me and my team at the Bath workshop of Cliveden Conservation, where his skill and commitment elevated our projects. Our statuary and fountains at Castletown Cox in Kilkenny, Ireland, won the Stone Federation of Great Britain craftsmanship award in 2004; we won the award again, in 2010, for the marble chimney pieces we made for a Quinlan Terry designed house in Regent’s Park, central London.
