Following on from our last post. We made it up the inside of the tower and out to the base of the spire. We did our survey and enjoyed the views. The rain actually helped in diagnosing some of the water ingress issues. Newton Abbott, Devon.

This spire and tower has a bad leak. We're about halfway up the inside. I'm not convinced by the platform above we need to access so we can get to an exterior hatch. The ladder isn't ours either. The risk assessments are going to be interesting.

St Mary with St Andrew, Rockbeare Devon. We've been carrying out some structural underpinning and new drainage works. It's always complicated digging out a new soak away in a graveyard. We have archaeological support as it is inevitable we will uncover something..

St Mary and St Boniface, Plymouth, Devon. Now the scaffolding is up and we can inspect closely, we can see there is another slate louvre that will need replacing. These louvres are large....and heavy. The old repair has somehow held. Not sure how they did it as it's 20+ metres up. Probably rope access.

The cathedral church of St Mary and St Boniface, Plymouth. The scaffolding has gone up for us to sort out the tower louvres, damaged in a storm. The night lighting gives the scaffolding a dramatic look.
