RESTORATION PROGRESS
Now that we have about completed the exterior of the building and grounds including the restoration of the gutters and down pipes, tiles where necessary, lead work, graveyard and bell restoration, progress is needed with the interior in three main areas:
1 The interior plaster and paintwork is deteriorating and needs serious attention. Quotes are being sought for replacing, cleaning and painting.
2 The organ has not been properly serviced for nearly 40 years - the electrics are in a very poor state. Quotations for refurbishment are being obtained.
3 The vestry and toilet. New quotations are being sought to finish this work.
