The floor takes shape - but more importantly electrics and induction loop go in!
The finial cross on the chancel arch - very eroded.
Wall plates - the wood on top of the walls - very rotten as expected.
Above the windows in the west wall - big holes!
Floor in front of the organ pipes - awaiting electrics to be finished.
The top of the tower - all very rotten with bad lead. All to be fixed.
The narthex - almost bare of render.
Inside: floor at the pulpit: where the organ will go back.
The tower - a rare close up!
The porch roof has some rot too!
Replacing wall plates on the south wall, inside and out.
The narthex to west wall join - repaired to carry the weight of scaffolding.
From the outside: new sarking going in.
Tower roof sarking: rotten and to be replaced.
NE corner gargoyle, up close and personal!
Tower fully scaffolded.
The weathercock: needs a lick of paint and a lightning conductior!
The drain on the tower roof - the hole is the size of a 50p - NOT a good design. All to be fixed.
Looking down onto the rectory from the tower.
Wall plate - mix of wet, dry rot and woodworm. All to replaced and drainage improved to stop it happening again.
