A Grantham-based company has earned national recognition in the first County Life Bespoke Bible.

The list includes Britain's top bespoke craftspeople, extraordinary practitioners from joiners and stonemasons to furniture-makers and metalworkers.

The magazine said: "With the growing recognition among a new generation that handmade interiors offer a whole raft of benefits, from longevity and distinctive good looks to tailored design and perfect functionality, Country Life has gathered together no fewer than 71 leading practitioners in a range of different fields, from specialist joiners and stonemasons to furniture-makers and metalworkers."

In the Orangeries and Timber framed Buildings Section, it listed Vale Garden Houses, of Londonthorpe, Grantham, which employs around 200 people and is one of the UK's leading manufacturers of conservatories and similar buildings.

Country Life said: "This family-owned company has been designing and building traditional bespoke conservatories, orangeries and rooflights for 40 years.

"Each structure is made in its Grantham factories in Lincolnshire, using Vale's own roof system, which combines timber and aluminium.

"Design, pattern-making, joinery, glass installation, metalwork, powder-coating and painting are all handled in house."
