BIRCHENOUGH Chorlton cum Hardy

Thomas BIRCHENOUGH born Dec 18th 1874 in Chorlton cum Hardy, married to Elizabeth Ann Edwards of Moffat St Nottingham.
Thomas was my grandfather and was an excellent sculptor and stone mason. He worked on the Sheffield City Hall and some of the decoration around the top of the building was done by him, I have also seen many gravestones in The Crookes Cemetery carved by him. He also taught at Sheffield College of Art. When I was young my mother took me to see a violin that he had carved ,it could have been in Norton Cemetery, I went back many years later but could not find it. I do have a photo of it.
