The last 3 months has seen the cleaning of the Erdeswicke monument, the tombs and wall paintings, revealing brighter colours. Conservation will continue for the next three months. A new soak away has been installed at the east end of the churchyard to improve drainage. Scaffolding has been erected both inside and outside to enable the removal of the stained glass windows for restoration off-site.

Thanks to the students at Christ Church Academy in Stone and The King’s C of E Academy in Kidsgrove, we have beautiful artwork to appreciate whilst the windows are out. Large internal scaffolding will now remain for some time at the West end whilst the wall is re plastered and repainted.
