The long-anticipated work on the interior fabric of St George’s is now under way. The doors closed after the Patronal Festival Eucharist on Sunday 25th April and by eight o’clock the following morning work had started on moving the temporary organ, grand piano, hymn books and prayer books to One Mayfair, formerly St Mark’s, North Audley Street and on storing away other moveable items not be needed until Advent Sunday.
Then came the boxing up of the Handel House organ, the font, the pulpit and lectern, the laying of a protective flooring and the removal of the chandeliers for off-site repair and refurbishment.
Enter the scaffolders—
- and Health and Safety!
The principle contractors are Mayfair-based Holloway White Allom whose site office at St George's (with all mod cons and appurtenances) is now situated in the now empty organ case.
