Firm Footings for St Michael’s Helston

In recent years the ceramic tiled floors of the aisles of St Michael’s church had become increasingly uneven, with the tiles tipping and cracking and creating a safety hazard. Investigation found that the sub-floor foundation was disintegrating and that the whole floor needed to be replaced. Also the large nave altar space had been paved with concrete slabs in a 1970s re-ordering; not only were these unsightly but rising damp penetrated the joints in wet weather and the slabs were heavily water-stained.

The Restoration of St Julitta’s, Camelford

A major conference on St Julitta’s restoration and 800 years of it’s history had to be cancelled this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, all the speakers agreed to write a paper on their topic for presentation. The result is a high quality full colour publication with unique and fascinating insights.
