Tarleton Holy Trinity Church Tarleton. • Works to Spire: water ingress through the spire was causing damage to the internal finishes. Investigations were carried out, initially using drone survey and then by specialists High Level Maintenance. Fixed ladder access was installed temporarily, and work carried out from Bosuns chair. The spire was repointed. We also took the opportunity to clear the bell tower vents of birds nests and install guard mesh to prevent further bird access to the tower. Twenty-four bin bags of twigs, leaves and dead birds were removed from the bell tower vents. • Refurbishment of vestries and new furniture: the vestries to the east end of church were refurbished and new furniture installed. Wet and dry rot was found in the east wall and required treatment. Existing plaster to the walls and ceiling was repaired. The furniture was made by Mr John Heap a local cabinet maker who also provided the furniture for St Marys at Rufford.
