Cameron Huggins Blacksmith - Redbourne

Cameron Blacksmith

Award-Winning Traditional Blacksmith based in Redbourne, North Lincs, using hammer and tongs to create one of a kind pieces. Cameron works full time as a Blacksmith creating commissioned pieces and work for local suppliers.

A traditional village forge in the heart of Rural Lincolnshire. 

The earliest recorded evidence of the forge’s existence comes from a pencil sketch drawn by a ‘C Nattes’ in 1795, commissioned by the Duke of St Albans (for whose estate the forge was originally built). Rumour has it that the artist was commissioned to come up from London and see a number of buildings built for the Duke so that he could draw them for him; he then went back to his studio in London to draw the buildings. This might help explain why, perhaps, the forge is not instantly recognisable as it stands today – I think a fair amount of artistic license was used when recreating the forge from memory! Yet, the colonnades and rearing white horse (as well as the title of the drawing “Blacksmith shop at Redbourne”) confirm that it is the building that still stands today. (Please visit Cameron’s website for more.)
