Peter Greenhill

Peter Greenhill has studied heraldry since he first visited the College of Arms in London in 1952 at the age of seventeen. He was conscripted into the Intelligence Corps in 1954 serving in Egypt until 1956.
He was a professional cartoonist and caricaturist, and studied sculpture at St Martin's School of Art under (Dame) Elizabeth Frink.

All the moulds are crafted in heavy brass and many are over fifty years old, several over seventy. The process is known as "drop-casting" from a ladle in the old-fashioned style. The moulds can be very temperamental and it requires much patience and skill to use them successfully. 

A high quality lead-less pewter is used for all the castings, which produces a hard, well defined, low tarnish finish making our knights’ armour look especially realistic. Peter Greenhill's figures are done in 50mm
