Glass screen for tower comes a big step closer

Glass screen for tower comes closer

Members of All Saints Parochial Church Council were delighted to receive news that the detailed designs for the glass screen in the tower archway, between the ringing chamber of the tower and the body of the church, have been accepted by the Oxford Diocesan Advisory Committee. 

This has cleared the way for a submission to the Chancellor of the Diocese to be made for a faculty (final permission to proceed with the work) with a good hope of permission being granted. 

PCC members also agreed which contractors would be engaged on the basis of their estimates and agreed to release reserves from existing funds which had been donated already for this purpose. 

The glass screen will enable both music and bell -ringing to be carried on within the church building at the same time.
