<br>Rather than digging down further under the present stone floor to place new heating pipes, the floor will be restored to its medieval level, avoiding disturbing the archology, and stabilising the north wall.<br>
This proven approach is already used in churches like Kenardington, Berwick, Tenterden, and St Clements Hastings.It will enable greater climate stability within the church, from which the building and its fittings will benefit. Experts in heating heritage buildings considered carefully all options and this is the best solution for this church, and how it is used.
Under floor pipes are corroding and starting to break and the cost of repeat repeatedly lifting parts of flooring to mend them is prohibitive.<br><br>“How <a></a>does this support the Church's wider mission?”The Church of England is committed to achieving net.zero carbon emissions by 2030. We have a responsibility to care for God's creation, making our present gas system unsuitable.
