A Little bit of History
Joe opened Stokes of England in North Shropshire in 1985, not just as the family business, it was also established as a training facility for overseas development and is the source of several Blacksmithing training manuals.
Through the peripatetic nature of Joe’s work with the UN, Chris lived in various places in Africa. In Khartoum 1972, he swam the Nile at Wad Medani and witnessed the attempted coup of President Nimeri. A spell in Tripoli Libya in 1975 exposed him to the summary justice of Sharia law and in 1976 Joe’s work with the UN took them to Zambia.
Chris’s international experience, his innate skills and the exposure to the improvisation techniques taught by his father to African farmers, has greatly enriched the artistic nature of his work. He has undertaken commissions for Prince Charles, The Omani Royal Family, the Oppenheimers, Owen Paterson MP, Maddona, Paul Simon and a range of people and organisations locally and throughout the UK.
So if you are looking for a qualified, traditional blacksmith with creativity and originality who is prepared to undertake projects/commissions at home, or world-
