Over the last two weeks more investigations have been carried out in preparation for going out to tender for our Capital Works, and to help us make decisions about aspects of our design.
Photographs of these aspects will be uploaded separately and labelled - paintwork, roof and cellar floor so that readers can go back through our archive and see how each part of our project progresses.
1. Small sections of paint were removed to look for evidence about how the chapel would have looked before all the surfaces were given a wood grain effect.
2. A study was made of the roof cavity between the lath and plaster ceiling and the slates.
3. Two of the stone flags in the cellar were lifted so that our Structural Engineers would have confidence in the structural support of the chapel and to help design the proposed under-floor heating system
