Plans are underway to obtain all the necessary faculties from the DAC to proceed with the conservation of our medieval paintings and stained-glass windows, in addition to various building repairs as well. We have already received Conservators' Reports but there is a long road ahead before work will begin! If there is anyone who might have a bit of spare time and be able to help us put together grant applications we would love to hear from you. Please give Ronald or one of the PCC members a ring.
