East Wall of St Nicholas Church

The work is well underway and the wall's structure is sounder than expected, especially that of the Chapel. There were some surprises found in the inspection holes of the Chancel wall. This included some infill of parts of a chalk window frame from when the Victorians replaced the originals. These pieces have been retained and are on show on the display table in the north aisle.

The roof and wall head work is nearing completion so the scaffolding will go this month. The drainage work is well underway, although the builders have struck some hard core around the tower as they try to re-install the drains to south of the church. This has come from when the Tower window was introduced by the Victorians. The north drains, like the south, will join onto the previous repairs of 2003. Meanwhile the south guttering is away for refurbishment while this is going on. The work, although slightly delayed, should be completed this month
