The development of the Methodist Chapel site to construct new homes for the Lambourn Almshouses is progressing well, with several key milestones recently achieved. The reconstruction of the chapel roof is nearing completion, a significant step that ensures the building is weatherproof and ready for further internal work. Alongside this, the wall to the east of the chapel has been entirely rebuilt, rising from ground level to the roof. Notably, the end wall has been successfully tied into the chalk blocks of the north wall, preserving the structural integrity and historic character of this Grade 2 listed building.
Inside the chapel, construction of the floor and internal wall foundations is well underway. This phase of work is transforming the space into a functional and modern living environment while respecting the heritage of the site. Meanwhile, the final contract for Phase 1 of the project is now in the process of being signed, marking another significant step towards the completion of this phase.
Despite recent poor weather, work has continued without delay, demonstrating the dedication and resilience of everyone involved in the project.
