Thursday, 11th October - building the arch screens

The archway screen from the bell tower has been removed for altering, to fit the higher level of the floor (approx. 4 inches). This is approximately the same as the height of the original plinths for the pews and the font. The new height will then be level with the first step of the chancel through to the south entrance.
This archway screen will be matched with a second screen, inserted at right angles where the new toilet and tea bar will be installed. See the first arch on the left of the bell tower in the photo.

The side of this area nearest the south door will also match, and will extend up one level, topped with a balustrade.
Meanwhile, the limecrete sections of the floor are continuing to be poured, and excavation has begun on the path for the drainage pipes today.
