Building Works at St Mary's Priory
On Monday morning (8th April), builders will be arriving in St Mary’s to install scaffolding needed to enable works to be done in the North Transept and Lewis Chapel which will take approximately six weeks. This means there will be no access to the Lewis Chapel, although Jesse will be accessible from the chancel area either by going through the choir stalls, or from the Herbert Chapel. Candles will still be able to be lit by the Crucifix, however, the candles by the Mary Icon should be accessed from the Nave altar area for safety reasons. The Wednesday 10am Eucharist service will take place in the Chancel during this period, and the Friday evening Evensong services will take place as usual in the Choir Stalls/Chancel (starting Friday 24th April). There will also be scaffolding around this works area outside the church by the Garden of Remembrance, which could make access to the garden problematic, but until the scaffolding has been erected, we are not sure how access will be affected but we hope there will be a path left for access to the garden. These areas will effectively be a building site whilst the works go on, so we would ask you to be aware at all times, as health and safety for all will be crucial.
Please bear with us during this time. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused, but this is major structural work to the church which must be done. If you have any queries, please speak with either Robin or Maggie (01873 858787) (if you can’t contact Robin), and we will try to answer your queries.
