Gifts with meaning
It’s not just any pen . . .
. . . it’s a Simon Webb beautifully crafted, hand-turned pen from timbers with historical or personal resonances.

Simon has made pens from wood sourced from local parks and even from a 160-year-old pew from Christ Church. He’s made bespoken gifts from a 300-year-old walnut tree in Lydiard Park that fell in the 2013 gales, a mulberry tree from the garden of the Richard Jefferies Museum and from a beautiful beech tree that had to be felled in our Town Gardens.
Of course, you don’t have to provide your own wood. Simon sources suitable pieces of wood from all over the world to make these bespoke, hand-crafted in Swindon products. They make the perfectly thoughtful gift for that someone special or as a keepsake for you to cherish that special memory in an unique way.
