Day 15 - Windows - Lambert Walker Team - Peter and Plasterwork

Week 3 - Day 15
Summary of the week.
The remaining chapel windows were removed today. A long and tiring job for the team involved, but essential if the scaffolders are to complete the final sections of scaffolding next week. Well done Ian, Chris, Sam and Ali.
Also thanks to Peter Longley, a member of our FOGS group who has been helping with the photographic record.
The removal of the internal plaster has also nearly finished, revealing some interesting things about the construction, alterations and decoration of the chapel over its life-time.
More information on these discoveries next week.
