Following the fall of plaster from above the Chancel Arch, initial works have been completed to stop water penetrating the church from above the eastern end of the north aisle. There is more work to do, including damp problems in the south aisle, but the church has now been reopened for visits and private prayer, except for the eastern end of the nave and the chancel which will not be accessible until further notice (apart from limited access during services).

Unfortunately the church is not a “warm space”, except during the service on the second Sunday of each month, so please dress appropriately. 

A section of plaster has fallen from above the Chancel Arch in the church and there is a risk of more falling. For public safety we have therefore closed the church.

Services will go ahead, with the affected area cordoned off from the rest  of the church. 

Hopefully we will have an early resolution to this problem and be able to reopen the building.
