Manxmen can do the job says mason

Craftsman hits back at skill doubts

An Island stonemason has rejected claims the Island 'lacks the expertise' to restore the registered features of the Castle Mona.  

Ian James Clanton - better known as HM the Sole - is studying the building as part of his PhD thesis, and made the comments earlier this week. 

Now Neil Cheetham of family-run Stonecraft Limited says many Manx craftsmen would 'relish the opportunity' to work on the building.

The two registered features in the Castle Mona comprise a saloon ceiling, and Arran-stone exterior masonry.

Mr Cheetham says there's no shortage of specialist expertise here.
