Within a landscape increasingly dominated by digital technology and mass production, the enduring art of hand-carved stone lettering stands as a testament to the human spirit's appreciation for meticulous craftsmanship and artistic expression. At Peter Hampson LETTERCUTTER, we proudly uphold this tradition, meticulously crafting bespoke stone inscriptions for various domestic, architectural, and memorial purposes.

Our Artistic Expertise

Each piece we create begins with a deep understanding of the client's vision. We collaborate closely with them to determine the exact design and layout of the inscription, ensuring that each character and symbol resonates with their desired message. Utilizing traditional tools such as hammer and chisel, our skilled artisans then meticulously translate the design into the solid form of the chosen stone. This meticulous process ensures that each piece becomes a unique and cherished heirloom.

A Legacy Preserved

The art of hand-lettering holds a rich and fascinating history in England. After its flourishing in the 18th and early 19th centuries, the practice was revitalized in the early 20th century by individuals such as Eric Gill, who established the Guild of St Joseph and St Dominic. This resurgence ensured the survival of this nuanced and intricate craft against the advances of industrialized production.

Crafting for Your Needs

Our portfolio encompasses a vast array of projects, encompassing headstones, standing stones, memorials, garden features, sundials, wall plaques, house names, and house numbers. Whether you seek a timeless inscription for a cherished loved one, or a bespoke wall plaque for your home, we welcome the opportunity to collaborate with you.
