There are a number of projects upon which we are currently working, these include,

• Preparatory work is in progress to replace the stone cross to the apex of the chancel roof.

• RSouth Wall

  • We hope shortly to commence on repair of the south wall plaster followed by redecoration (up to window height) of the Nave. The Chancel will be redecorated in entirety. To go higher than window height in the Nave will require input from conservationists and must await another time.

• Lighting and heating

  • We have a small group who are looking at the present heating and lighting arrangements, with a view to upgrading.

• The Vestry

  • The repair and redecoration of the Vestry is long overdue. We hope to tackle this shortly, in conjunction with a review of our catering arrangements, to make the best of the increased available space in the Nave.
