We want to get the structural stonework which is dangerous made secure and safe.
This year we shall start on the stonework which is dangerous, and we shall do the same next year.
At the same time as cleaning, repairs to the stonework would need to be carried out, and these are estimated to cost a further £3,000.
The work involved rot eradication, stonework repairs and extensive internal refurbishment.
We are told that the progress of the restoration of the stonework has been greater than was anticipated.
At present 20 men are employed on the hand-picking and inspection of the stonework to prevent the risk of falling pieces.
That is for eradicating dry rot, repairing the roof, the stonework, and so forth.
Hand-set stonework is a traditional method of fixing and particularly suits limestones and sandstones.
