Recently, the back of church has been rather barricaded by scaffolding to enable workmen to effect repairs to the roof, after crumbling high level material fell to the floor. Currently, it is uncertain whether some of the hefty costs associated with these repairs can be covered by insurance.
Right where the repairs have to be done a historic
painting has hung, depicting the Royal Coat of
Arms of King George III. This painting needed to
be brought down to ground level to avoid being
damaged. This was finally done a week ago today!
This move has prompted people to ask if the painting could be relocated, and therefore be more visible in the church. However, any relocation of the painting will require a faculty from diocesan authorities – and this will take a little time. What do you think? Should the painting be relocated?
