Before and during works for a new chancel screen at the Royal Garrison Church in #portsmouth. We're now eagerly awaiting the glazing. The brass-clad frame will be patinated to an antique bronze finish.
Some photos taken during external stonework and tower roof repairs to St Hilary church, St Hilary, new guarding will be added to the parapets to protect the drop. #cowbridge
Now the scaffolding is down at #tewkesbury abbey hall, the recently repaired first floor windows are looking particularly smart, and previously painted shut ones now open. Secondary glazing has been added internally to improve energy efficiency.
Works are almost complete at Gunns Mill Furnace, the north-east wall is now rebuilt, as part of structural repairs to the building
It was great to see the difference in appearance following window repairs at Tewkesbury abbey hall this morning, and a view of the abbey we don't get to see from ground level. @TewkesAbbey

An interesting find at Gunns Mill this week by @BMArchaeology - a curved brick structure topped with small flat stones. It looks like a 18th or 19th century kiln, but what it was heating is currently a mystery. Us architects are hoping it's a pizza oven :). #Gloucestershire
It was great to visit @StEdburghas church in Yardley last week, their reordered North aisle is making a fantastic community space, and there are lots of interesting features on the walls, including a recently discovered wall painting of some timber panelling. #birmingham

Brrrr, frosty scenes in the Forest of Dean during a visit to Gunns Mill last week, where structural stabilisation works are being carried out to the former blast furnace, which dates from the 17th Century.
New year and new roof as rafters are being lifted into place at Bethel church, The big crane in the middle of the building, which until recently was a fixture of the #Newport skyline is now gone!
We attended a fantastic event at Tewkesbury Abbey last week - a Festival of Lights, celebrating 900 years since the abbey's consecration. What an amazing experience @TewkesAbbey #TFOL21

Exciting scenes at Bethel Community Church, #Newport as the roof trusses are now on site, and look massive! After a devastating fire three years ago, the roof will soon be back on, as rebuilding work continues.
It was wonderful to attend a blessing of the new facilties at Weston Turville church near #Aylesbury this weekend. We're excited to see how the new meeting room and toilets will be put to use by the #community #Buckinghamshire @SWIFT_WT

The garden at Llanthony Secunda Priory @LlanthonybyGlos in #Gloucester was looking particularly lovely yesterday, we think it looks a good match for the illustration done at the start of the project! #success
Spotted a bird of prey (a buzzard maybe) in Merthyr Mawr churchyard last week, it very obligingly posed on a gravestone, a pity I didn't have my big camera! #birdwatching #Bridgend
It is always lovely to visit #GreatWitley church and see the stunning interior. I could have spent all day there! #Worcester
We've been playing 'which face looks most like me' at St Peter's church in Astley, #Worcestershire and admiring the view from the tower roof this week.
This idylic photo at St Teilo's church, Merthyr Mawr was taken minutes after an absolute downpour, it was still a lovely place to visit in the beautiful South Wales countryside. #bridgend
