Church Bat Survey

As part of the roof repairs, we had to undertake a 'Protected Species Survey'. This was principally to investigate the types and habits of the bats that use the church. We have just received the final report. The result is that we have identified that the Nave is used as a maternity roost and during the breeding season we can't work on this area. A program of works will now have to be prepared to allow for this 'stop' period on the Nave. There is no similar condition applied to the Chancel. We can only work on the Nave after May 14th.
