Restoration Work - Phase 3

Phase 3 - Nave Roof

Phase 3 - Restoration of the nave roof

Work started on Phase 3 in October 2004 by R & J Hogg Ltd. This work is confined to the main nave roof. The architect is Tony Redman of the Whitworth Co-partnership.

The work undertaken includes: the reroofing of the nave and repairs to its timbers, the removal of condemned electrical wiring and repairs to the North East aisle window.

Below is a short gallery of photos taken during Phase 3 restoration. The photos were taken on the 16th October 2004 during removal of tiles from the nave roof. The tiles themselves were removed equally from both sides of the nave roof to keep the weight and thus pressure even during the operation otherwise the roof timbers could collapse.
