The Heritage Tree

The Dronfield Hall Barn Heritage Tree is situated away in a tranquil setting overlooking the beautiful garden of the Barn. The Barn has long offered families a beautiful and peaceful setting for celebrations, events, memorials and reunions. The Barn is a place where memories are both created and remembered.

The Heritage Tree offers a unique opportunity to celebrate and remember a significant event, person or memory. Each leaf is engraved using a local engraver and the sculpture and leaves have been created using recycled stainless-steel. This is a perfect and alternative method to mark something or someone meaningful to you.

This stainless-steel tree has been commissioned by the Barn and made by renown sculptor Jason Heppenstall. It was at school that Jason’s love and fascination with steel work began. From there he learnt his craft at a sheet metal firm. Working for nearly 30 years with sheet metal taught him how metal behaves and how it can be manipulated into his beautiful creations. At the start of 2013, he decided to become a full-time artist and sculptor. You can see his work all over Derbyshire and Yorkshire from outside the Sheffield Train Station to local pubs.

“the rural environment I was nurtured in really inspires a love of nature, free from the constraints we are trapped in”
