the boiler house and ladies toilets
Once the church worship area had been opened and dedicated in June 2010, a remarkable thing happened and we received a very substantial grant which took our breath away – this meant we got to do the boiler room and all the church heating.
Yes, we had just finished the church floor and decoration and bits had to be lifted up but it was worth all the extra work because in the coldest winter known for years we ended up with the warmest church ever, just a week before the bad weather started. The boiler room is bright accessible, with boilers that can work at 103%! efficiency – where you can eat off the floor as opposed to the primeval darkness where gallant souls had struggled bravely for decades, peering into the stygian gloom and paddling through the rising water!
We have much to be grateful for and are continually astonished by God’s grace, the sheer hard work congregations will do for God and the generosity of grant-givers – all of which has made possible this whole endeavour.

When concerts are held here (and we have had a fair few –notably the Canoldir award winning male voice choir) there is a rush for the toilet facilities and ladies’ toilets used to be woefully inadequate. The men have good provision and nice décor with green and cream tiles done some years ago – so a spare classroom, used for storage, was converted into an accessible toilet with four cubicles and three deep hand-basins, massive mirror, sparkly floors and modern lighting, It is a joy to visit!
