We’ll next turn our attention to the church tower and the clock. The clock face is in need of a clean and possible paint and the brackets holding the clock in place are in need of repair. We have already begun the process of obtaining quotes for this work.
Significant work is also required on the roof of the tower itself as the lead is very damaged. We’re currently looking at the best way to deal with this.
Assessments have also begun into the re-plastering and then decoration of the south wall. We are also looking at work on rewiring the electrics and lighting.
The other major project that has been put forward jointly by the parochial church council and Friends representatives is the total refurbishment of the back of the church and the kitchen! This is a major project levelling the floor with the kitchen and creating more room for events, meetings etc, right in the centre of the village. It is a long-term initiative which will require significant grants and funding.
