Carefully carved by local craftsmen, the new stonework has been desig

With winter (almost) behind us, quinquennial inspection (QI) season is officially underway… ........and that can only mean one thing: our Ecclesiastical team’s diaries are about to get very full! Meanwhile, the admin team prepares for a busy spell of planning, coordination, and keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

Works are now underway on the internal re-ordering at All Saints Church, Ripley, one of the 5 churches that make up Cayton Parish - overseen by our Ecclesiastical architectural team. The project includes removal of all pews and lowering of pew platforms in the Nave to create a more accessible floor area and allow greater flexibility of use within the space.
