Darenth Valley Forge Blacksmiths

Rooted in the rural heart of Kent, Darenth Valley Forge is a family-run traditional blacksmith’s workshop, steeped in craftsmanship and heritage. For over three generations, their forge has produced hand-forged ironwork that is both timeless and deeply personal.

We are honoured to work with Darenth Valley Forge in the creation of bespoke niche covers for the Holly Barrow Columbarium. Each piece is individually crafted using age-old techniques—hammered and shaped by hand over flame—resulting in unique memorial pieces that are as enduring as the love they represent.

Their artistry brings a soulful touch to our sacred resting place, blending natural materials with reverence and care. Whether simple or ornate, every cover tells its own quiet story, echoing the beauty of permanence and remembrance.
