The 2017 Quinquennial Report outlined some urgent work to be carried out. Phase One of the programme of works has been completed. This has included the removal of an old oil tank for the Church boiler (for health and safety reasons), the resurfacing of the Car Park, the re-fixing and repainting of the Church ceiling tiles and repointing of the Church tower, where there were serious cracks between the stones. The whole of the outside of the Church has been power-washed and sprayed with a water-proof agent to prevent the porosity of the stonework. More news on Phase Two coming soon. Thank you for your continued financial support which has enabled the work to be done.
