There is no set method to taxidermy which means I’m always experimenting with my technique to strive for perfection.
Thank you for browsing my website and potentially investing in my Art work.

Taxidermy Portfolio
Meet William at Work
I was born and bred in the countryside and feel I understand country life, and the wildlife that lives within it. During my school days art and sculpture were my main interests, combining these and my passion for wildlife I felt taxidermy was worth looking into.
Whilst a teenager I read several books on this ancient art form. I tried it but admittedly with little success. Being eager to improve my hobby I joined the Guild of Taxidermists which gave me the confidence to improve. It then developed into a small business.
That was nearly 40 years ago, and for the past 35 years I’ve provided a full taxidermy service mounting birds, mammals and fish from my studio in the redundant village church of Claxby St Andrew.
Frequently Asked Questions
If it is not possible to come over to my workshop and showroom, specimens can be sent via Royal Mail special next day delivery service.
Due to the fragile nature and value of the finished work collection is advisable, certain mammals could be sent by post if need be as they are more robust.
