Restoration and Conservation

Key project dates

January 2025

Scaffolding erected to the north and west nave walls, and Peter Martindale Conservation starts work.

Our photographer has been able to get up close to the wall paintings and other decorative features for the first time these have been accessed in perhaps over 100 years! 

Here are a selection of the photo’s showing the scaffolding and what we discovered before conservation work started, including our magnificent archangels, our very own monster, painted friezes, stars, bosses and a selection of stained glass window panels, as well as some remarkable cobwebs and the impressive scaffolding installation itself.
