SUPPORTED BY
Following many years of repairs, we have finally started the total renovation of our 176 year old Roof and Gutters. In phase one we renovated the south elevation which involved dismantling and rebuilding the whole of the parapet and relining the gutter, replacing all the rainwater fittings and providing a gutter overflow system. In phase two we are similarly renovating the whole north elevation plus repairing and reslating the main roof. We are also updating the whole of out security light systrem, and installing a new kitchenette in the upper lounge. This work could not have been carried out without the help of a £250,000 grant from the 'National Lottery Heritage Fund' for which we are very grateful. You can see the scope of the task in the following pictures. Start of the renovation - a 20 week project North side roof at the start of stripping the old slates and refelting
South side roof stripped and refelted
South side slating started
And slating completed - we have half a new roof!  Before the work could be started on the northside parapet and gutter there had to be scaffolding inside church, and the Font and the Organ had to be protected
    North side was then stripped and felted
 Parapet and gutter work being renovated and reslating started
And so we have a new roof, good for the next 100 years
Meanwhile the emand ergency lighting and lower lounge lighting has been upgraded to the latest LED units from to
with new emergency lighting in the upper lounge, in church
and on the fire escape, with many thanks to the NATIONAL LOTTERY HERITAGE FUND
And that is where we are up to at the end of week 16
