The ground was levelled and a layer of type 1 bedding laid and tamped down, ready for laying the paving stones.

The brief dry spell over the Christmas break was helpful but as soon as it started to rain again the ground turned to liquid mud, which has made work impossible – despite the best efforts of the builders, who have put down boards to work off.

Unfortunately, the number of people catching Covid-19 is rising at an even more alarming rate and I have no choice but to continue to offer our services online only.
Our main act of worship will continue to be made available every Sunday from 9.30am on both the Great and Little Gaddesden Church websites for the foreseeable future. I will of course continue to monitor the situation closely and respond accordingly.
My decision, which I assure you has not been taken lightly, is based on our not only being in Tier 4 of the current Government Regulations, but also to help protect us from this horrible virus. We have many vulnerable people in our parishes and it is important that the church does not exacerbate the situation.
Please see below, as well as the Services and Coming Up pages for our online activities, and keep checking back here for updates.
I know the church communities join me in wishing you all a Happy New Year, hoping and praying that things will soon improve.

They were recommended by our architect as being the most suitable type for this situation. They slide right away into slots built into the wall so that the door opening is completely clear with nothing intruding into it.
