Progress report – 17th March 2023
The decorators are now making good the chancel arch where the big organ speakers were located. Our new instrument will have much smaller speakers – such is the advance of technology.
That pile of kitchen units on the lady Chapel has now grown – it has been supplemented with all the oak panelling that will separate the chancel and utility area.
It’s the time for joinery – but the magnificent piece below is not for keeps. It is the shape around which the arch for the new door will be built.
More funds are still needed and, even if you have given already, please consider whether you might give a little more. Some people have and it is very welcome. Thank you. You will find all the details on the website. We are less than £50,000 away from our £120,000 target and also need more donations towards the organ and chairs.
Although the building itself is closed, worship continues in The Cornerstone on Sundays (8, 9.30 and 11.15am) and on weekdays (Tuesday and Wednesday at 10 am and Thursday at 9 am) and the bell ringers have access to the tower. There is still access to almost all the churchyard either through the lychgate in London Road or the double gate in Norreys Avenue. The memorials by The Cornerstone and by the vestry door can be accessed by arrangement with the Parish office.
