Our Church Projects

DESIGNED TO IMPROVE AND MAINTAIN
THESE TREASURED LISTED BUILDINGS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.

 

GOSBERTON PARISH CHURCH - GRADE 1 LISTED

  • Repairs to roof after lead theft of May 2019 - now complete
     
  • Repairs to tower clock - restoration now complete
  • Repair path around church to church hall - repairs now complete
  • New path to be laid from Westhorpe Road through the churchyard to Church Street: The path needs to be at least 1.2m wide to allow for wheelchairs and much deeper than it currently is  to prevent movement and cracking. A quote of £9000 has been received to do this.
  • New heating system - we have a quote for new gas boilers and the removal of a big asbestos flue. We are also looking at electric heating, so watch this space!

  • Stained glass in porch - some of the pale green glass in the porch needs to be repaired and some panes replaced - a quote will be sought from Lincolnshire Stained Glass Stuidios who have done work on Quadring and Clough Parish Churches. 

  • Replace flooring in church hall - this is the original flooring from when the hall was built in 1995/6 and is now wearing in lots of places and needs replacing. 
     
  • Replacement of some areas of stone flooring - our architect has surveyed the floor and taken photos. We will contact him again to start this project once the heating has been upgraded. 
     
  • Replace kitchen in church hall - quotations to be done and grants to be sought from the local authority and others. 
     
  • Stained glass windows in church to be surveyed, stabilised where necessary, cleaned and repaired. 
     
  • South pew platform to be replaced - this will match the new north pew platform. 

 

QUADRING PARISH CHURCH - GRADE 1 LISTED

  • Install water main from road to church - This has now been completed with grateful thanks to Lincs Pumps and Pipelines. Having a mains supply of water to the church is a big step forwards. 
     
  • Build kitchen and disabled toilet inside the church - architects plans have been completed and approved. Permission is awaited from the Chancellors office for this work to atart.
  • Electrical system: A complete re-wire of the church is needed at the same time as the kitchen and toilet installation.
  • Install a sound system inside the church

 

CLOUGH PARISH CHURCH - GRADE 2 LISTED

  • Works completed recently - interior of the church complete redecorated, Clough Angels restored to their Golden Glory thanks to the BBC program 'The Repair Shop'. Trees cut down around the church so it is more visible.
     
  • Exterior of the church to be cleaned and painted. All timbers to be treated. Date to be discussed.
