Our priorities for work over the coming years include the following projects: –
Repairs to crumbling external stonework
The arch to the North door and buttresses on the north side of the church is very badly eroded as is the arch above the Lady Chapel door
Internal repairs
- Repairs to the door jambs on both the south and north doors
- Dealing with the crumbling plaster on both the north and south walls internally, which will require removal of the pews. The pew decking throughout the church needs repair. We plan to remove and re-use what we can of the decking on the two side aisles for the repairs and then replace with flagstones at the sides
- Sound and draft proofing the Lady Chapel to make it a more usable room for church and community use
Ongoing repairs
There are some jobs which require regular annual review and repairs, most notably the church’s roof.
The Churchyard Wall
The two most urgent sections have been done but further areas will need doing shortly to prevent further deterioration and collapse.
