A few pictures to show what is happening after week 2
Note the five crosses to the bottom right of this picture
And a further update after week 3
All the plaster has now been removed from the second lift at the top of the Nave and a start made on the next level down, the West door has had a second skin fitted with a lock to allow access to the ringing chamber while work continues inside the church, the old ceiling of the Parish Room has been removed and replaced with new plasterboard awaiting a plaster skim and a thick layer of rockwool insulation and no bell ringers are left in this container overnight.........
A quieter week as a lot of the team were off on Easter break but progress continues with the plaster removal in the nave, the alarming fissures in the corners of the upper walls have been carefully refilled with flint and lime mortar and the floor in the Parish Room is receiving new wall plates and replacement sections of floor joists where they have rotted in to the brick walls.
