About Penson Ecclesiastical Arts

Andrew Penson has enjoyed a lifelong passion for churches. After making a set of altar frontals for his parish church when he was in his late teens, he was soon asked by priest friends around the country if he could replicate them. Having done this as a hobby over more than a decade, whilst learning a great deal about fabrics and designs, Andrew set up his altar frontal making business in 2020. Penson Ecclesiastical Arts continues to offer this specialist service for bespoke altar frontals and associated items, as well as offering a range of classic English and European ecclesiastical fabrics for sale to individuals and churches. It is hoped that Andrew’s huge enjoyment and enthusiasm for ecclesiastical design shine through in his service and his creations. This body of knowledge and tide of enthusiasm means that Andrew is now able to offer a consultancy service for the reordering and restoration of churches, chapels, and sanctuaries.
