November Already!

Firstly;

My apologies to those, who do look to the Blog for regular updates on the Conservation and Repair Work. I did intend to write last week, but the Proper job needed my attention and the Church job also took up such a time that what was left of my week went into sleeping.

So a quick run down of where we are ------

The High Roof has been checked again and our favourite Steeplejacks are scheduled to be out next week. Doing what I hear you ask------Clearing Gutters!!! AGAIN!

There are so many trees around about, that I think we may have to increase the frequency of the gutter-cleaning visits. The trees in the West End are very nice, but they weren't around over a 100 years ago when the parapet gutters were built.

Those of you who get to see inside the building may have wondered about the bare stone walls in parts of the Main hall. This is part and parcel of correcting the damage caused by years of over-flowing gutters. However the stone is drying out nicely and we are seriously minded not to re-plaster; the original walls could be treated and left to show their own natural beauty, with the brickwork parts dressed to match.

Very Avant!

Speaking of changes in Style and Design perception, I wonder how many know where this forgotten window (shown above) is located?
