Phase II Roof Renewal — November 2020
This page is part of our project "Revealing St Alban's Hidden Heritage" supported by a grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, thanks to players of The National Lottery.
By the 4th of November, the tiles were getting close to the top of the curved roof of the apse.

The East End 13 November 2020
Tiling the roof of the north aisle was well advanced, and an access from the internal balcony to the balcony above the west porch was being created through the bottom of one of the lancet windows. This will allow easier maintenance both for the drainage from the balcony and for the floodlights that are located on the balcony.
