St John the Baptist, Eastnor, Worcs c1852 - 1854
Malvern based builder George McCann and Architect Gilbert Scott ( later Sir ) were working on the enhancement and restoration of this Church when Earl Somers asked them to take over the enhancement of Eastnor castle as well, sometime in 1852
There they met a 19 year old William Forsyth, who was already employed by the team that had been decorating the castle from early 1852
McCann and Scott used William to carve the additions shown below to the Church and it was this work that convinced the Earl to ask William to work on the carvings in the main hall at Eastnor over the next few years
