We now have toilets and a kitchen at All Saints!

The new facilities were dedicated by the Bishop of Buckingham during a reception following Choral Evensong at 6.30pm on Sunday 31st October. 

 

The Future

The project group are also working on plans for future essential projects.  In addition to the ongoing work & appeal to repair the bell tower and install a new peel of bells, the conservation/restoration of the South Porch, restoration of the west entrance, new lighting & restoration of the organ are also being planned as separate but coordinated projects for which external funding will be sought.  The restoration of the west entrance is likely to be split into two:  one to redesign the west entrance to include inner glass framed doors, re use of the Victorian doors, additional storage area and a mezzanine roof.  The other the development of the area over the new kitchen, office & toilet to link in with the mezzanine floor in the base of the tower.
