Works completed at SS Peter & Paul's Church in Tetney

7th December 2011

 

SS Peter & Paul’s is a thriving church located within the village of Tetney.  After much hard work from the PCC, the contractor, MW Crowe Ltd, and ourselves, we have now reached the stage of completion of a new kitchen, along with a new oak timber and glass lobby and meeting area.  We hope that this latest internal re-ordering of the church will bring many more years of success, so it continues to be a focal point within the local community.

 

   

 

 

Works underway at SS Peter & Paul's Church in Skendleby

25th November 2011

 

Re-roofing work is now underway at SS Peter and Paul's Church.  It has been fascinating to remove all of the slates from the chancel and nave roofs, and uncover the roof structure and open voids that have not been accessible for over a century.  We have been pleased to discover that the roof timbers are in very good condition, no doubt down to the high quality workmanship of the last restoration over 100 years ago.  The work being carried out will of course be to a similar high standard, and once the voids are closed, it is expected that no access will be required for at least another century.

 

 

Good progress at All Saints' Church in Nocton

11th November 2011

 

Re-roofing work continues at All Saints', and moves on to the nave as work reaches completion on the chancel.  After lengthy investigations into the composition and arrangement of the existing roof tiles, new tiles have now been laid on both slopes of the chancel, which has seen the detailed pattern reworked, as seen below.
