Phase 1 of the project has now been completed. This phase of the project has seen:

  • External cleaning and repointing of brickwork
  • Repairs to the slate roof to address existing leaks and damaged tiles
  • Clearance and repair of gutters to improve drainage and prevent future water ingress
  • Repair of the spire
  • Repair of a damaged stained glass window.

 

Phase 2

Due to planning permission delays, phase 2 is now expected to begin in autumn 2025. This phase will focus on installing safety systems to enable ongoing maintenance of high-level areas and completing repairs in previously inaccessible areas.
