Answer
If you are talking about the burner grates or front grates, you might have to have one custom made for you. Your chances of just finding the grates are slim unless you are willing to put in some serious work.
Since the Parkinson Stove Company was an English company out of Birmingham, you might want to focus a search in that area first. Read the classified ads - someone might have one or parts of one. Did you get the model number from the back of the stove?
You'll never find someone willing to part with the grate if they have the rest of the stove so you need to set a search on eBay.
If you have some time on the weekends, make a scale drawing of the grate and head out to area antique or antique-type stores and flea markets. You might find one grate here and another there but it is going to take time and diligence.
Parkinson Stove Co Ltd made gas stoves for many years and there are several different models.

Apparently the Parkinson Stove Co Ltd also had an office in Melbourne, Australia (which provides another search area) not to be confused with Parkinson and Cowan of London and was acquired by Thorne Electric. One of the companies was acquired by Electrolux.
There are some companies which you could check since despite your description, only you know exactly what you are looking for. We have no idea of the age of your heating stove.

Use the addresses and write or call each company - send photos of what you have and what you need. It is not going to be easy.

How do I heat up my VERY COLD rented room, using minimal energy?
Anna
I live in a Californian Bungalow in Melbourne, Australia - tall ceilings, the walls are made of wood, I have a fireplace in my room, and there are gaps between the skirting boards and the floor. I have stuffed my with fabric, I have good curtains, and there are no noticeable drafts, but my room has been getting down to 10 degrees, and it's only April.
I am a gung-ho environmentalist (turn things off at the wall, am committed to no air travel, etc) so I HATE the idea of using an electric heater, but I'm not sure what I can do instead. Normally, I don't ever put on a heater, but this house is different. I have been wearing thermal underware, but now I'm thinking I need a polypropylene body suit, with only space for my mouth and nose, it's completely ridiculous!!
I think the main reason it's so cold is that there's barely any insulation. As a renter, I can't do anything about that. Does anyone know what would be the most effective and efficient was of dealing with this? (Note: I am prepared to get a gas bottle and bring in some kind of a gas heater, if need be.)
Note: 10 degrees celsius is 50 degrees Fahrenheit
My face actually is the worst bit, when I'm trying to sleep. I can't wrap it in an electric blanket!
