Gavin Merrington’s Final Church Restoration | Sydney News

Gavin Merrington, a legendary Tasmanian lead-light craftsman with five decades of restoring heritage gems, is closing his chapter on a monumental project: reviving the 146-year-old Brickhill Memorial Church’s stained glass windows. After ten painstaking weeks tracking down original glass, hand-painting 90 pieces, and reassembling them with precision, he’s handing over his legacy to a community of dedicated tradespeople who keep Tasmania’s historic buildings alive — from builders like Peter Evans to owners like Matt Collins, who sees the church as a living piece of local history. Though Merrington’s stepping back from big projects, he’ll stay involved through smaller gigs and mentoring, ready to savor well-earned rest and family time after a career that beautifully preserved Australia’s architectural soul.
