The passageway between Main Street and Church Street (the one running between the Church’s north wall and 121 Main Street) will be temporarily be closed during January. The closure is necessary to enable scaffolding to be erected in the passageway to undertake the repair and restoration of the roof at 121 Main Street. We have been told that the works on 121 Church Street will commence on Saturday, 7th January 2023 and are scheduled to be completed by the end of the month. As with any work undertaken outside at this time of year any inclement weather conditions could impact on the work schedule and this will have to be borne in mind. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. The repair and restoration has been been undertaken in January on the grounds that it would reduce the impact on both residents and visitors to Haworth and we hope that the effects will be minimal for you. If you have any queries please contact John Huxley, the Parish of Haworth Health and Safety Officer, on 07775 762890 or myself Peter Breed, the Churchwarden, on 07598 426035.
