Asbestos-covered pipes removed. The joists are in remarkable shape, apart from right side, considering the Church was flooded in the 1960s when the River Conon burst its banks.

Repairing Tree Damage
The winter of 2013-2014 brought more expense when a large limb of the "squinty tree" was brought down in a storm and the services of a tree surgeon had to be secured. A member of the congregation with a fascination for such work had time to record only the first stages of the procedure!
