2016 - Flooring, Redecoration & Heating

Following many years of fundraising the committee embarked on major works in 2016. The floor of the church had been affected by standing water on the North side under the joists, earlier completion of the ring drain and resolved this issue, but the joists and floor boards needed to be replaced. Many years before the crypt had also had several feet of water and this had previously been resolved with the drainage system. Although the issue of the standing water had been resolved, it was decided whilst the floor was being replaced it was decided to install damp proof membrane. The joists and floor were completely replaced, new carpet laid and the walls and ceiling re-decorated. Additionally new radiators were installed. To maintain ventilation under the floor fans were installed that maintain air circulation. A grant was made by Devon Historic Churches Trust
