At the end of February we plan to make changes at Old High. As reported by Jim Alexander in our September 2017 magazine, the purpose of the changes is to deal with problems flagged up by a recent risk assessment: limited circulation space at the chancel area for wheelchair users during services and other events; and restricted access in the event of emergency.
The proposed changes are shown on the above drawing. Pew portions being removed are in red:
- Removal of the central front pew
- On pulpit side: front pew, cut back to match pew arrangement at audio console control end.
- On lectern side: front pew, cut back at both ends to reflect proposed pew arrangement at pulpit side.
- Associated work on heating pipes and the floor.
All the work will be carried out with due care and attention to detail in the reinstatement of existing pew finishes. The aim to respect the sanctuary and its symmetry centred on the chancel area.
For more details, please see the September 2017 magazine or contact our Session Clerks.
