St Michael’s Church Project: NACRE
The Narthex and Church Refurbishment (NACRE) has begun.
Completion of the Narthex roof repair, which was funded through a Diocesan ‘Quick Wins’ grant, enables us to continue with the lighting, double glazing and insulation upgrade. The first part of this will be new double-glazed windows in the Narthex together with upgraded insulating glass in the rear door. The work should be finished by the beginning of April. After Easter, the rest of the project will progress.
