A NORTH Yorkshire bespoke furniture manufacturer has been praised for its work at an historic City of London church.

Thirsk-based Treske created a large, museum-style display cabinet for the ancient Guild Church of St Margaret Pattens, which was designed by Sir Christopher Wren.

The oak cabinet will house an historic collection of artefacts belonging to the Worshipful Company of Pattenmakers, one of the Livery Companies of the City of London.

Colin Sewell-Rutter, who commissioned Treske to build the display cabinet, said: “Our ancient Livery Company has been planning for some time to bring its collection of historic footwear and pattens out of storage and to place it on public display.

“We needed the finest craftsmen to construct a large museum-style display to sit within it. Treske was an obvious choice for us.

“The results have received acclaim from members of the company, the Church, the City of London and an increasing numbers of visitors. We are delighted not only with the quality of Treske’s work for us, but the excellence of the service from its team.”

Justin Bartlett, the owner and managing director of Treske, said: “This was a very special project for us, given the history of St Margaret’s Church and the ancient footwear and pattens the cabinet was going to house.”
