Description

A section of the Northern boundary wall at All saints Church, Coleshill has collapsed and needs to be re-built. A large section of the Western boundary needs re-pointing and some minor structural repairs.
The Northern boundary wall is retaining approximately 2.5m of churchyard and abuts a neighbouring property to the North, known as Rectory Cottage. All works to the outer face of the wall will need to be conducted from the neighbouring landowner's property (grass verge adjacent to Rectory Cottage driveway), with mechanical excavation from the churchyard side to expose and then shore up foundations.
The Northern boundary wall is compromised in 4 separate areas: a suspect area of bulging, cracking and significant mortar loss (section A1), an area of localised collapse (Sections A2-B1) and 2 further areas of significant cracking (Section B2 - B3).
The Western boundary is retaining approximately 2.5m of churchyard and runs adjacent to Church Lane (Highway). All works to the outer face of the wall will need to be conducted from the public highway.
The Western boundary wall (section Z) has experienced significant mortar loss due to age of the structure and previous penetrating vegetation. There is moderate damage to a quoin / pillar, adjacent the western steps up to the churchyard, which requires the removal of a shrub stump and realignment.
All the above areas require full or localised re-pointing, as defined in the specifications.
The churchyard is closed under the 1972 Local Government Act and is under the care and maintenance of Vale of White Horse District Council. The Council has been given faculty permission to carry out the works, from the Diocese of Oxford. It is confirmed that in this instance, Ecclesiastical consent under the 2010 Ecclesiastical Act, supersedes Planning or Listed Building consent and further licences are not required for the purposes of these remedials.
The Council seeks to obtain costs for contractual remedial works. Pricing should be based on the structural and material scope of works and calculations provided as supporting documents to this brief.
