Church Windows Update
We’re now in discussion with the contractor (Neg Architectural Systems Ltd) about phasing the works.
Costs are creeping up, and we could probably now get a majority of the windows replaced in the fairly short term.
We’ll update you when we have more definite information.

- cheque payable to "St Mary's Monkseaton" or cash (envelopes in church, with Gift Aid slips, into the wall-safe)
