This work has been in hand for fifteen years and more. Now the work has been almost completed.
Preparatory works began in Spring 2009, replacing damaged plaster on the walls of the nave and stripping paint from the cast iron columns which are such a feature of the church.
In September 2009 other preliminary began - removing the organ and its pipework for refurbishing off site, and removing asbestos sheeting from beneath the sanctuary.
Then the principal works got underway - adjusting floor levels to improve accessibility; putting in under-floor heating; installing a new lighting system and a new sound system, - along with a font, a reconciliation chapel and a new space at the east end of the church for devotional prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.
The works were extended to include the installation of the Fleischmann Rosary Triptych, now installed on the South wall of the church, adjacent to the Sanctuary.
The final major work is the completion of the carving which will surround the Tabernacle. This is expected to be completed during September 2012
