We are very excited that the first
phase of building work on the Church was started on Wednesday 31st
August. This is the removal and replacement of the transept window
which has deteriorated and become a priority. Initially we will see
scaffolding erected both on the inside and outside of the Church.
The glass is going to be removed and
then the stonemasons will make a detailed plan of the stone. They
will then go back to their workshop to carve the stone so there will
be a period of about eight weeks when nothing seems to be happening.
Towards the end of November they will return to rebuild the window in
brand new stone and then the glass will be replaced by specialist
leaded window contractors.
An added benefit is that it will
conserve heat during the winter months.
