On we go
There will always be something to do with an old building like ours.

Churchyard
All Saints has a large churchyard - a piece of the countryside in the town.
Careful maintenance encourages wildlife, parts have been seeded with wildflowers and left to nature and other areas carefully mowed and kept tidy.
It is a lot of work by a few volunteers.
The churchyard is surrounded by a brick wall which is in constant need of attention. In 2024, the four sections in most urgent need of repair were addressed. Repointing of other sections will take place in 2025 and beyond as funds are made available.

North Aisle
Work on All Saints goes on in 2025. A curious damp patch appeared in the north aisle and needed investigating. The cause was a defect in the flashing on the north aisle wall. The Trustees are confident the problem has been successfully resolved and that redecoration can proceed.

Spire
Every two and a half years or so, since the 1985 fire, the spire is inspected to ensure it is stable. This was last done in the Autumn of 2024. No major issues were found.
