The floor of the nave had become very uneven, with many cracked tiles. The font surround presented a hazard and many people hit their ankles on it.
During the summer of 2022, the floor was replaced and the plinth around the font was removed.
This meant that the church had to be closed for daily public access for several weeks as the old floor was removed and the foundations of the new floor were laid. The good weather meant that we were able to have Sunday services in the open air.
The plinth of the font was cut down and laid to provide a limestone paved area around the font. The paint was removed to reveal the original limestone font.
The floor was tiled with yellow, red and black tiles, replicating the earlier pattern.
The installation was dedicated at a celebration service in November 2022.
