When the last of the plaster was removed high up in the roof of the end wall (the floor you see in the photo is a temporary floor installed to make working on the roof safer) a section of lead pipe was removed. It had been let into the wall and plastered over.
Work being done on the chapel accounts give some details about gas piping. Roy Lees had just copied this section as we were having a discussion about the turning of 4 pillars that had been thought to relate to work being done on the gallery. The account for 2 October 1836 has an item for £1 18shillings towards 'Gas piping couplings etc'.
The first reference he adds is -
"Fitting up the Gas Apparatus" on 16th November 1827 at a cost of £19- 15s - 4-1/2d !!!
On the work front, the final strengthening of the ceiling supports have been completed and the laths and nails have been delivered to start the long task of making the laths ready to take the new plaster ceiling.
