Building Work
Renaissance Masonry has returned again and will be working on the West face of the Church. The work is the same as that done on the tower last year in an effort to remedy our water infiltration problem and which appears to have been successful. Bedding mortar will be replaced and joints repointed. We expect the work to be completed by Mid May approximately.
