· The Vaults and Gardens Café will be closed from 3rd January so that both the café and the old library above it can be refurbished.
· Partitions will be erected beneath the organ and between the nave and the Adam de Brome chapel to allow for conservation works to be carried out (the nave will remain accessible via the high street entrance until the summer)
· The scaffolding will continue to grow up the tower and spire in preparation for stonework repairs and cleaning
Over the past few weeks the scaffolding has been advancing at a steady pace and, as I write this entry, it has now reached the viewing platform at the base of the spire. The photographs below were taken by a member of our new volunteer photographer team on the day when some of the key loading beams were carefully lifted into place.

I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of all of the staff, clergy and project team at St Mary’s to wish all of our readers and visitors a Merry Christmas and we look forward to you joining us in the New Year to share more of our exciting project developments.
Lucinda Williams, Heritage Education & Volunteers Officer
