Building Review Consultation
Thank you to all those from
our church family and electoral roll who came along
on 21st January to see what
the PCC are considering doing to improve the
facilities at the back of
church. Your comments have been noted. For those who
were unable to attend on the
21st January the basic proposal is to reinstate the
gallery at the west end of the
nave. This was removed at the end of the 19th
century. Rooms would then be
created underneath the new gallery, and within
the existing tower, to provide
storage, meeting rooms and improved toilet and
kitchen facilities.
The PCC are going to hold a
second consultation day:
Tuesday 16 th
March 2010: 2-4pm and 6-8pm
(at St Mary’s Church)
This will be for anyone within
the community of Marshfield, whether or not they
have links with the church, to
come and see what is proposed. Once again the
exhibition will available to
view during the day at the times indicated above, the
architect will be giving short
presentations and members of the PCC will be on
hand to discuss the proposals.
We would very much like to hear the views of all
members of the village
community so please do try to come along at some point
during the day, and please do
encourage your friends and neighbours as well.
