Many years ago, this was a decorating supplies shop. From it's appearance and company name, I imagine they now do all the work themselves.

The Thomas Machen Monument
Thomas Machen (c. 1541–18th. October 1614) was a mercer who was mayor of Gloucester three times and who sat in the House of Commons in 1614.
Machen was the son of Henry Machen (d. 1566) and his wife, whose surname may have been Baugh or Brayh. He was probably the Thomas Machin who in 1562 supplicated for his MA at Oxford University, where three of his sons were later educated.
By 1566 he had married Christian Baston (c.1546–1615); they had seven sons and six daughters.
Thomas Machen was the Sheriff of Gloucester in 1555. Thomas was again Sheriff in 1572 and 1576, and Mayor in 1579, 1588, and 1601.
He was lord of the manor of Condicote in 1608, and was elected as the Member of Parliament for Gloucester in 1613, serving in the Addled Parliament of 1614.
He died on the 18th. October 1614, leaving considerable property, including Condicote manor, and bequeathed more than £4,000 (equivalent to £732,000 in 2018) to his family and to various charities.
His monument is one of the more elaborate to be found in Gloucester Cathedral. In it he is represented kneeling in his mayoral robes, facing his wife. Also featured are their 13 children.
Gloucester Cathedral
Gloucester Cathedral, formally the Cathedral Church of St. Peter and the Holy and Indivisible Trinity, in Gloucester, stands in the north of the city near the River Severn.
It originated with the establishment of a minster, Gloucester Abbey, dedicated to Saint Peter and founded by Osric, King of the Hwicce, in around 679.
Osric's foundation came under the control of the Benedictine Order at the beginning of the 11th. century, and in around 1058, Ealdred, Bishop of Worcester, established a new abbey "a little further from the place where it had stood".
The abbey appears not to have been an initial success, because by 1072, the number of attendant monks had reduced to two. The present building was begun by Abbott Serlo in about 1089, following a major fire the previous year.
Serlo's efforts transformed the abbey's fortunes; rising revenues and royal patronage enabled the construction of a major church. William the Conqueror held his Christmas Court at the chapter house in 1085, at which he ordered the compilation of Domesday Book.
In October 1216, Henry III was crowned at the abbey. Following another disastrous fire in 1222, an ambitious rebuilding programme was begun. In the 14th. century, the Great and Little Cloisters were constructed, displaying the earliest, and perhaps the finest, examples of fan vaulting anywhere.
The cathedral contains the shrine of Edward II, who was murdered at Berkeley Castle nearby.
Following the Dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII in 1536, the abbey was re-founded as a cathedral. The cathedral underwent much restoration in the 18th. century, and again in the 19th. In 1989, it celebrated its 900th anniversary.
In 2015, the installation of Rachel Treweek saw the Church of England appoint its first woman as a diocesan bishop. The cathedral has frequently been used as a filming location, including as a stand-in for Hogwarts in the Harry Potter movies.
One of the cathedral's windows is said to depict the earliest images of the game of golf. This dates from 1350, over 300 years earlier than the earliest image of golf from Scotland. Another image, carved on a misericord, shows people playing a ball game, which has been suggested as one of the earliest images of medieval football.
The cathedral's clock, bells and chimes are referred to in a repair agreement of 1525. The present clock, installed in 1898, is by Dent and Co, who built the clock for Big Ben. There is no external dial, but there is a fine Art Nouveau clock face in the north transept, dating from 1903, designed by Henry Wilson.
The bells were rehung and augmented in 1978 to give a ring of twelve. The two oldest bells date from before 1420, so they are older than the present tower. The bells are rung 'full circle' by the cathedral's band of ringers for the weekly practice session.
In addition there is Great Peter, the largest medieval bell in Great Britain, weighing a fraction under three tons. Great Peter is the hour bell, and it can also be heard ringing before the main services.
The cathedral is a Grade I listed building. There are a large number of other listed buildings within the cathedral complex, many also listed at Grade I, the highest grade. These include the Treasury, the Chapter House, the Cloisters, the precinct wall and a number of the medieval gates into the cathedral enclosure. Others are listed at Grade II* and Grade II.
In September 2016 Gloucester Cathedral joined the Church of England's 'Shrinking the Footprint' campaign, intended to reduce the Church of England's carbon emissions by 80% by 2050.
Gloucester Cathedral commissioned a solar array on the cathedral roof which is expected to reduce the cathedral's energy costs by 25%. The installation was completed by November 2016, making the 1,000-year-old cathedral the oldest one in the UK with a solar installation.
