Ground Floor Plan

There is evidence of a gallery at the northern end of the church, the design of which required the northernmost pair of lancet windows to be blocked off to accommodate the balcony structure.  The gallery has then been removed at some stage in the life of the building.

​

The main hall is lit by five pairs of lancet windows to east and west, with leaded lights and iron frames.  These have been refurbished relatively recently with steel frame opening lights and carefully detailed secondary glazing.  This work has been carefully done and will be retained.

The secondary rooms behind the main hall were extended first in 1994 creating a new first floor meeting room and a new side entrance.  The extension is of coursed rubble limestone under a natural blue/grey slate roof.  Sawn stone parapets and copings are constructed at the gable ends.  Some small rooflights are built into the roof, and some extra lights are shown in the approved scheme.  There is only a minimum level of daylight in some of the approved apartments.  This application proposes some larger rooflights.  A level of daylight more appropriate to residential accommodation will be provided without impact to the view from Coxwell Street nor the neighboring properties to the east and west.  A new window is proposed to be fitted in the south wall.  This will match the existing window that was built on the extension approximately 24 years ago.  It looks out over an office car park, and a modern two storey office building faced in artificial stone, under an artificial slate roof.  It will not be visible from any other viewpoint in the Conservation area.
