The Iron Scribe Co is dedicated to preserving the heritage of fine ironwork through craftsmanship, restoration, education, design, and commissioned works. Our ethos is grounded in respect for traditional techniques, integrity of making, and the pursuit of excellence. We honour the legacy of the blacksmith’s craft through the creation of bespoke ironwork and by inspiring and teaching future generations to carry its traditions forward.

Blacksmithing is a cornerstone of our built environment, shaping the character and identity of historic architecture across centuries. Each piece of forged ironwork tells a story of craftsmanship, community, and technological evolution. 

"Preserving this legacy demands more than repair, it requires an understanding of traditional methods, materials, and intent". 

At The Iron Scribe Co, we believe that correct restoration practices are essential to safeguarding the authenticity and longevity of historic ironwork. By respecting original workmanship and employing correct techniques, we ensure that every restoration not only preserves the physical structure but also the heritage of the iron itself.
