It has been a very busy month at the chapel and the pace is continuing to quicken as we approach the end of the year. Last week saw the screed go down on the upper and lower floors which was an unusually rapid process. The screed mix that we opted for was MPA Liquid Screed…

Meet Phil
Meet Phil, the Man the Myth the Legend! Phil prefers to stay behind the scenes but we thought it was important to introduce everyone to our extremely talented Site Manager for the Chapel Build. He always has a smile on his face. And isn’t afraid of a little hard work. Austen and Phil have been working…
Porch Life
Everyone loves a before and after picture and although the porch isn’t finished just yet, we thought we would share a quick update with you. Before : The dark black pointed frame gave the chapel a much older look and feel than we wanted, so we gave it a small lift. The board going…
The Workshop
If you look at the Chapel build from a Birdseye view, it’s shaped like a T. The Top of the T is actually where our workshop will be and it has certainly seen a lot of developments in the past week. The roof has come such a long way internally and externally. You can see…
Cobwebbed Chapel
One of the local residences of Whitchurch, Noel Privett, sent in this absolutely beautiful picture he captured one dewy morning. We absolutely love it! In fact we aren’t the only ones as it was featured in the Silk Mill Calendar for the month of July! Isn’t it wonderful! If you have captured any pictures of the…
Remote controlled Crane

April Showers
April had many hurdles to overcome, mainly with the floor. With the increased amount of water seeping in from the River Test, filling the holes in the Chapel, even the digger struggled not to sink through the floor. All that soil has to go somewhere.. We are thankful April came with a new roof !…
Roof Roof
The main Chapel roof is on, and in only one day! How you ask? By using Nulok roofing system! Firstly Nulok battens are fixed to the rafters in the conventional way, replacing traditional timber battens. Then specially designed Link Channels are snap fitted to the battens to form an interlocking grid system. And finally our slates are slotted…

We’ve had rain, we’ve had sun, windows have been put in, tiles have been delivered, holes made and much more… Early March, people on the roof insulating and securing it. Ian inside the roof with a hammer and bolster cutting bricks, repairing the brickwork inside. Worker’s digging…
