As regular attenders at church will have seen during the past few weeks, we are experiencing some problems with the interior brickwork of the organ chamber. It appears that some of the brickwork facing the organ is crumbling and in order to discover the scale of the problem and to rectify it we have needed to remove some of the organ pipes. This means that the front part of the north aisle is currently unavailable for public use.

Please do not disturb the organ pipes which are laid out in particular order in the north aisle. While attending to this problem we also discovered a section of heating pipe lagged with cracking asbestos and of course this needs to be dealt with rapidly by a specialist asbestos removal firm.

This may necessitate the church being inaccessible for a few days but we will attempt to give full warning of this as far in advance as we possibly can. Do please bear with us while we attend to these two structural issues. If you have any queries please address them to Brian or the churchwardens.
