Our metal canopy is off!!!
The Big Reveal
Finally after 13 years, the large metal canopy that has allowed the Chapel to dry out prior to essential conservation work has been taken away.
The demolition crew finished taking away the last of the metal poles and wooden bases today.
The colours of the Chapel look beautiful in the sunshine, and we are delighted to see the building without the roof over the top of it.
There is still some scaffolding around the Baptistry section of the Chapel, and this will remain in place until the covering over the Baptisitry roof has been completed at the end of September.
There may still be some disruption over the next few weeks, and whilst this will be limited, we request your patience and understanding, and hope you will enjoy witnessing a very significant time in the conservation of the Chapel.
Throughout this project, we are grateful for the support and funding of:
