On Friday it was possible to go into the Hall and see the roof timbers which are now exposed.
On Friday there was  site meeting of Richard Boxall (Project Manager), Richard Slee (Main Contractor), Richard Frost (Master Thatcher) and Steve Baber (Project Lead). The meeting was to plan the next stage of the works. Richard Slee and his team will be working inside the Hall continuing with the conservation work.
