The Hopton Shield: A Carving from Cathedral Stone
Crafted by Lichfield Cathedral stonemason Matthew Tinsley, this unique piece transforms a section of reclaimed the Cathedral's limestone flooring into a hand-carved shield featuring the crest of the Diocese of Lichfield and the Cathedral’s Latin motto: "Serve God and be cheerful."
Finished in 23-carat gold leaf, this work of art is a true celebration of traditional craftsmanship and local heritage, kindly donated for the Lichfield Cathedral Gala Dinner Auction.
