The brickwork of the original vestry walls had deteriorated very badly at ground level where it met the grass, with hollowed out faces to many bricks, so repairs are necessary.

The buttress on the church wall which the wall of the old Ambulatory had been built around was in a bad way when it was exposed.

The kitchen units were delivered and are now being installed. This should take about five days as there are a lot of units to get in as well as the appliances to fit and sinks to plumb in. We are installing a commercial dishwasher in order to make clearing up after events very efficient. We looked at several other kitchens before designing ours and we were strongly advised that this was the best type of dishwasher to put in, despite the extra initial cost, so we hope it will prove to wash up to its reputation! 

The walls have been plastered and dried out and the undercoats of paint are being rolled on.  The electricians are wiring up the light fittings and outlets.  And last weekend a team of tilers worked non-stop to lay the slate on the floor of the Ambulatory, lobby, kitchen and WC.
