| Central Heating Boiler Replacement |
The oil fired warm air central heating system had lasted for half a century. For the last seven or eight years of its life, repairs had become increasingly difficult with parts virtually impossible to source.
After a winter without cental heating, during which time more efficient and environmentally friendly solutions were sought, the oil fired boiler was replaced with a modern oil boiler and connected to the warm air ducting and circulation system.
Funds for this project were provided from funds and through appeals to the shivering congregation. |

Repair and paint all exterior woodwork and repaint
tower interior steelwork |
All the church and church hall exterior woodwork was long overdue for repainting, as was the mast topping the tower.

Freshly painted woodwork can be seen around the church. The windvane mast which was made with timber from the old Tollesbury Pier now sparles with fresh white paint atop the tower. |
