Tuesday 5th October 2021Update on church repairs and maintenance October 2021
The Quinquennial Report received in October 2021 identified that an urgent repair was need to NE corner of the Organ loft, necessitating a bat survey which has been carried out by Ecological Consultant David Wills on 22 September and a discussion with the Organ Builders Henry Wills has taken place in order to protect the Organ from debris .
The Maintenance Group continued their regular work of inspections to identify any problems and reporting these occasions in the Vestry Maintenance Log . Work continued in the churchyard to clear nettles and brambles from headstones and below yew tree, remove ivy from the west wall of the churchyard and clear drains and gutters . All of this is in addition to the regular extensive work of mowing and strimming which is very much appreciated .
Examination of the ceiling and roof will start at the end of October 2021 which necessitates the erection of scaffolding in several areas of the nave, chancel and outside.
