Boundary wall coping
29 March 2011
The East church boundary wall is coping well in more ways than one at the moment.
First, it has a magnificent new set of red sandstone coping stones - seen right.
It has also coped well with the winter weather, with all the harling remaining in good condition. The wall now has now had all its coats of harl - with just the limewash layer to go. This will be the same natural Singleton Birch as the church.
To complete the magnificence of the wall there a band of cobbling has been laid at its base. This had previously been lost under tarmac, but would have been there in the past - and matches other sections along Church St.
