Quinquennial Inspection Report - Diocese of Durham

Item Window N3
Priority-C
Description Crittal type galvanised steel, single glazed obscure
glass
Condition Loss of decoration and pointing
Repair needs redecoration and putty re-pointing
INTERIOR
Nave
Fibreboard ceiling under draws concrete panel roof. Plaster walls repainted in 2011. Herringbone
block flooring in good order
Radiators are all sound, but it would be wise to vacuum the tops, as they’ve gathered quite a lot of
dust. The prayer book rest at the front of the loose seating is rickety.
Item Windows
Priority-C
Description Much repaired in various types of obscure glass
and polycarbonate
Condition Timber facings of windows are dirty. Pointing to
ventilators pointing is missing in certain windows. The
window panes are noticeably loose. The window glass is
quite sooty.
Repair needs. Timber facings require decoration. Repoint
ventilators. Fix panes in firmly (not easily achieved due to
design). Clean glass.
The windows, in time, will become a greater issue for
security.
Chancel
Step up in stone, some pointing missing. Herringbone flooring more highly varnished than the nave.
Further step up to the central altar (altar repositioned from other church), carpet losing a little of its
colour and has some staining. Walls are okay. Clear storey glazing seems okay. No change to the wall
tears on the South, previously noted.
