Good ventilation: roof and sarking stripped right back.

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.
