St. Martin's Church Tower and Roof Restoration
In collaboration with Jonathan Leavitt of Leavitt Associates, Inc. Peter has overseen the restoration of failing stonework and roofing along with restoration of the chapel's plaster walls and wood paneling that was damaged as a result of an intense rain storm. Mechanical systems are being installed in the bell ringing chamber to provide de-humidification and ventilation. Much of the stone being replaced will be either limestone of Microcotta that is extremely durable. |
St. Martin's Altar and Communion Rails
The altar and communion rails were designed to be sympathetic to the interior woodwork in the chancel designed by Irving and Casson. The new altar and communion rails were crafted by James Eddy of James Eddy Woodwork. Below is a progress photograph of one of the four corner posts showing the depiction of the goose that is part of the history of St. Martin of Tour, the patron saint of the church. |
