A survey of 2017

CJL Designs carried out the complete repair of all the cracked panes of glass in the church in August 2017

 

Tideway

• Balanced the care and conservation of the building from Tideway’s early works to the preparatory main works programme.
• Involved in the negotiation of the APA and coordinated work on window repairs rather than the initially proposed double-glazing.
• Coordinated all safeguarding measures and baseline monitoring of the building, in preparation for the main Tideway works including organ survey, interior and plasterwork survey, noise/vibration control and monitoring.
• Appointed an external structural engineer to support on-going work.

 

Thank you to all our supporters for the grants we received this year for our roof and fabric repairs

 

 

Fundraising

• Awarded grants from the following organisations (Marshall Charity, All Churches Trust, National Churches Trust). Grants will go towards repairing the South East roof and associated water ingress issues.
• Fundraising initiatives and proposals developed for the larger redevelopment grant. No applications were made, as more consultation was required from the PCC and congregation on the proposed scheme.

 

New postcards now available at the church
