Recent Church Improvements
The Transept of the Church is now open to all with
disabilities as there are no steps at the Transept
porch. The floor tiles on the Transept have been placed
and have been well received. An electrified candelabra
is being presently made for the Transept. Other works
recently carried out in the Church include new kneeler
pads, veneering of all pews and balcony. Veneering
of the Gallery stairs and Veneering of all interior
Church doors. Gutters and drains of Church, hall and
house cleaned and the growth at the side of the Church
removed. Other works to be carried out in the near
future include front steps and lighting improvement
at front steps area, exterior stonework beneath some
windows and other minor works have been earmarked
for the not too distant future. We still have debt
