The first section of the limecrete floor was poured in this week on top of the foamed glass sub-base. You will see that the lime gives it a very white colour. Time is needed now for it to 'set' or 'go off'.Soon all the relevant 'first fix' plumbing and wiring will be installed.
The large concrete slab which supported the font can be seen below. The font consists of the large, lead-lined bowl, sitting on a central stone support and four large 'legs'. It sat on several blocks of dressed stone which then sat on top of the slab shown.
When the font was moved from the current setting, it needed special heavy moving equipment brought in especially, as you might imagine it is extremely heavy. The bowl was removed initially, then the legs, then the central support. It's new location will be opposite the pulpit on the corner of the Lady Chapel.
