Work On University Church

First time been down is way for a while I noticed all the work and scaffolding around the University Church on the High Street. There appears to be a lot of work going on in this area, including in Brasenose College. I bet that putting all that scaffolding around the main tower of this church took a while to plan and put in place.

According the church website parts of the church including the cafe and the viewing area on the tower will be closed for six months from January while this restoration work takes place.

"After years of consultations, planning and fund-raising we are now entering into the final exciting but messy phase of the project. The enabling work will continue until the New Year on the outside of the church and then the restoration and development starts properly.The Chancel, De Brome Chapel, Tower, Vestry, Old Library and Cafe will all be closed for a period of six months from January 2012"
