St. Mary’s Church in Nottingham is a Grade 1 listed building and a member of the ‘Greater Churches Group’ - a ‘self help’ group of churches that are of cathedral-like size but without the access to funds or other resources that a cathedral can have.
In addition to carrying out the quinquennial inspection for St. Mary’s, Peter Rogan has advised on various repair and development projects ranging from major re-ordering schemes, replacement of boilers and, regretably, dealing with the aftermath of lead theft.Lead was stolen from the South Porch,ChoirVestry and Chapter House roofs in a series of raids.
An alarm system has now been installed and the Chapter House and ChoirVestry roofs replaced with terne coated stainless steel, a covering that has a life expectancy of around 100 years.
Sandcast lead was reinstated to the south porch, protected by the alarm system.
