Work starts in the Church

Our contractors are now on site and the chancel is very much out of bounds to the congregation as work starts on repairing the internal ceilings to remove years of damage by jackdaws who have pecked through the plaster as part of their nesting activity. The outer eaves were closed off earlier this year before the breeding season started and the jackdaws have retired to the roof in the south aisle where they can’t do any internal damage. We improvised for our Remembrance Service on 9th November with a huge poppy suspended on the screen to give us something to focus on other than the closed off space and we may use this approach again in future as it was a strong reminder of the purpose of the service.

If you visit the church you will notice the contractors site in the car park. Access to the church is only possible with permission from the contractors while work is underway other than planned services and events details of which are on this website.
