Easter
2022 update. With removal of most of the temporary internal
screening, Canon Philip writes: 'at last after about 180 years we can now capture the vision of the architect in 1841 of the completed
church. Obviously there is much more work to be completed, but the opened north aisle gives us that glimpse.'
Construction of phase
2 commenced in August 2020 following many years of detailed planning and the
phase 1 renovations. Phase 2 will provide more
seating for our congregation and visitors; improved external and internal
access;
meeting and other facilities in the crypt, many other updates to latest standards,
inc insulation, low energy lighting, reduced maintenance costs, etc. Progress
has been slowed by Covid 19 but is well advanced. Principal
contractors are S.J. Quick and Sons Ltd of Crowlas,
with many local
skilled craftsmen, trades and suppliers. note: Phase 1 completed in 2018
for the 175th anniversary of the church (Gallery)
