Building work at Holy Trinity Church, West End

The building work is complete and the Church will be open again during the day with the wooden doors open but a netting ‘door’ to keep out birds and allow airflow to aid floor drying.  The floor is safe to walk on, but the information table will be at the front of church to keep the back area clear.
