In accordance with the multi-year repair/restoration program outlined at the Congregational Meeting on September 8, the four pinnacles atop the tower have now been removed to help preserve the integrity of the tower structure. The copper spheres atop the pinnacles have been saved with a view to their eventual restoration once the project is complete.
Remaining work this year will include localized repairs to the tower roof, to prevent water ingress into the internal tower structure, and the installation of crack guages to identify any further deterioration to the tower.
