Military and War Memorials
Here at Leander Architectural we offer a manufacture new and repair or restore (even adding new names to) existing memorials – from simple cast grave markers on stakes through to large public works.
Recent projects include memorials for the Royal Marines, King’s Regiment, Manchester Regiment and Manchester University, plus the recasting of all the war memorial tablets at Crewe War Memorial.
A whole series of bronzes were sculpted and cast for this memorial to the “Cockleshell Heroes” near Bordeaux. They were cast in aluminium bronze (“silver bronze”) which is a colour preferred by the Royal Marines.
SCULPT, DESIGN, CAST & MANUFACTURE
From the first enquiry, Leander will help with design, choice of materials, colours, languages, grammar and fixings. Every plaque or sign produced, is first drawn to scale giving the customer the opportunity to request changes or simply approve the layout.
We are able to sculpt, design, cast and manufacture new memorial tablets, regimental insignia, memorial swords and figures. Aluminium and Bronze are our traditional materials to work with, but we often use others as requested.
Foreign & Commonwealth Office Commission
In 2014, we were commissioned by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office to produce a series of bronzes commemorating overseas winners of the Victoria Cross in World War 1. These were exhibited at Lancaster House before being shipped to the relevant countries.
