The project in detail
It was a real pleasure to have the opportunity to work on this beautiful parish church in Fernham, near Faringdon. The church has a fascinating history and, following a fire, received National Lottery funding towards its restoration. Today it is looked after by a dedicated team of local volunteers through a trust, and it was lovely to be able to play a small part in the ongoing care of such an important local building.
Our work focused on the lower plastered sections of the walls throughout the church, carrying out preparation and repairs where required before redecorating them in keeping with the existing building. The higher walls, vaulted ceiling, stonework and woodwork weren't part of our work, but we couldn't resist taking plenty of photographs of the wider church while we were there. It is a genuinely lovely building, full of character and interesting details, and certainly one of the more unusual places we've had the pleasure of working in.
