Replacement of church windows
Work will begin Monday 10th June on replacing all the windows in the sides of the church. It was initially expected that the work would take up to two weeks but Nessglaze now intend allocating additional tradesmen with a view to completing the work within one week. The work will inevitably involve having several large vehicles and some mechanical lifting equipment in the area and in the interests of Health & Safety there will be no additional vehicular access to the precincts of the church while the work is under way.  There will be a coned pedestrian only access to the hall but there may be times when access will only be available from the rear of the church. We hope this doesn't cause any undue inconvenience and we thank you in advance for your cooperation.
