This work was carried out in 2018 and involved lots of general maintenance work.
The first task was to do quite a lot of raking out, followed by hydraulic lime pointing. This was unusually difficult and time consuming due to the concave flutings that run all the way down the spire.
All of the timber louvre windows were prepared and painted.
The 3 pictures below show louvre windows we recently painted.
We used, as always, an extremely high quality and expensive timber preserving paint. We continue to specify the stuff in spite of its cost, as it lasts so long and looks so good.
During other maintenance work on the roof and steeple we noticed that one of the louvres was in a desperate state so it was replaced.
Here is how it looked before.
