St Peter’s Refurbishment
As part of our vision for growth we want to have a building that is suitable
to the 21st Century yet retains the characteristics of its original purpose.
As many of you will know this takes a long time and we have been working
with the Architect and Diocese to see what we can do to make the building
more attractive and more inviting for people.
Once we get the final approval we hope to get the work done over the win-
ter and it will take several months to complete.
What we are planning to do, working from the outside in:
1. Put window lights in the outside doors so that it feels friendlier and
the porch isn’t so dark.
2. Put oak fronts in the porch to cover the boilers.
3. Replace the tatty blue doors with oak frame doors with windows in
them – to encourage people to come in.
4. General repaint and tidy up West End with notice boards all round
the walls and new carpet.
5. Improve the Church lighting with uplighters under the balcony and
new light fittings and spotlights on the dais.
6. Repaint the whole Church – end wall will be red to match the ceiling
as it was in the past.
7. Take out the raised side chapel and make a flat carpeted area which
can be used for small worship events, prayer, Little Church.
8. Re-carpet both side areas to match and continue the carpet across
the front of the church, stopping at the front line of pews.
9. Re-carpet and clear the pink carpet area, this may include taking out
the pulpit so that the whole area can be used more effectively.
10. Clean and re-plaster the two vestries and convert the doors to open
outwards with crash bars for fire exits.
11. Upstairs; recover the doors.
12. Put in a new projection system with a screen that will drop down
from behind the Chancel arch and a projector below the organ.
Through the wonders of Photoshop we have put together some photos of


what the church might look like as the various jobs get done, which are on
display in the West End.
How will this be funded?
We have some money put aside for Church refurbishment and repairs and
we have been promised enough to cover the new lighting from a local
fund. But this won’t cover everything. We will still be asking for contribu-
tions from you to help make the Church a better place. We need help to
pay for the carpet, for the new chairs that will be needed in the side chapel
area, for the new Audio Visual equipment.
Please consider whether you could make a one off donation, a regular gift,
could raise funds or could write to possible donors. If you feel that you
could do any of these please speak to Lindsay (St Peter’s Treasurer) or An-
drew or Gill as Churchwardens.
But let’s together make our building somewhere we can be proud of and
reflect the efforts of those who have gone before us and make it a building
fit for today and the future.
