Description

The capital works will employ a sympathetic conversion, restoration and some conservation of the building to meet the needs of Network Ryde into the 21st Century while still retaining the heritage and history of the original building alongside that. Its stained glass windows will be fully restored and its plaques and memorials conserved but a new chapter will be written by the addition of new heating and lighting systems, a full rewire, modern fully accessible showers and toilets with washing and drying facilities.

A kitchen and recreation area, dedicated "pods" for meeting and private areas and a new front office facility. The exiting pews will be utilised as high speed internet and computer access areas and a new propose built kitchen area will allow teaching and children to cook meals. The current floor has 2 dropped aisles which need to be filled in so the floor is a flat surface for both mobility access and no longer a trip hazard.

The building will be fully insulated, with a new heating system, extensive solar panels with battery system and low energy flexible lighting. The project will also significantly improve the external image of the church and develop the surrounding area as a quiet and traffic free meeting and relaxation area for residents and visitors to the town. In addition, this space will also be available for dedicated fairs and external events. As such we considerate to be a unique combination of the old and the new and a rare opportunity to utilize and reuse an amazing space for the community for decades to come.
