Hello,

I hope this blog post finds you well.

Would you be interested in finding out about the techniques being used in the redevelopment of the building? If so, would you like to see some of our heritage experts at work?

Halton & St Helens VCA are planning another workshop event. This one will be on Wednesday 26th March from 10.30am and we’d be thrilled if you wanted to join us on site.

The topic for this workshop will be Joinery.

If you’re anything like me, you’ll be delighted at the chance to simply have a look inside the church and see what’s going on and how the redevelopment is progressing, but you’ll also have the chance to learn about the reinstatement of the modified glazed screen below the organ loft. I’m pretty sure that the screen used to be part of the entrance porch for St Marie’s, but I’m happy to be corrected.

The workshop will be lead by our joinery experts from John Turner Construction Ltd.

Places are very limited for this workshop (there’s a maximum of 5 attendees) and will be distributed on a first come, first served basis.

The workshops will be jointly hosted by Halton & St Helens VCA, Aura Conservation Limited and John Turner Construction Group and are supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.

To book your place, e-mail mroberts@haltonsthelensvca.org.uk

I hope to hear from you soon.

Many thanks,

Matthew Roberts
