Renovations 2019
The long planned renovations to the historic bell tower at Christ Church have finally begun in the summer of 2019. In mid-July, a massive amount of scaffolding was delivered to the church and was erected by the team at Alpine Restoration of Waterbury, VT. Once the scaffolding was in place, work was now ready to begin. Old mortar between the blocks of granite had to be removed with hammer drills and new mortar was installed by hand. A new roof for the bell tower is also planned as well as completion of the slate roof on the existing church. This is a massive undertaking and one that is necessary for our church to remain water tight. We are grateful to all the fine crafts-persons who are taking such good care of our historic sanctuary. More photos will be coming soon.
