Ones in the kitchen need replaced to be opened for ventilation, and that work gives the church the opportunity to replace them with double glazed units.

It added: “The windows are in a very damp environment. It is south facing, never gets the sun because of the trees and is continuously covered in pine needles and leaves. As a result, the windows are very rotten. Aluminium clad wooden widows will preserve the character and give longevity to the life of the windows.” Councillors will consider the application in due course.
