Ryan Logan has been helping to repair the elaborate stonework of the Church of Our Lady and the English Martyrs, on Hills Road, Cambridge.
"Modern day stonework is a lot of power tools, a lot of machinery; back then a lot of this was created with just manpower, a mallet and chisel," said Mr Logan.
It is one of the largest Roman Catholic churches in the country. Urgent repairs, costing an estimated £1m, began in February, external, when scaffolding surrounded the bell tower.
