Interregnum Update
We are now, hopefully, halfway through our interregnum and we thought
you may appreciate an update.
Firstly, I must thank everyone for their tremendous support, by helping in all
sorts of different ways. Our weekly services have continued; regardless of
half the building being out of bounds, due to the re-ordering project.
The interregnum has given us the opportunity to invite various local retired
clergy, and priests from the Diocese and Cathedral to take our services.
Bill and I have been well supported through this process by Archdeacon
Andrew Beane and his assistant the Reverend Mike Clark.
It was suggested the three parishes of St. Peters, St. Andrews and St.
Thomas’s Chevithorne provide parishioners with an opportunity to complete
a questionnaire, in deciding how they saw the future of the parishes and what
qualities they would see as appropriate for the new rector. The results of
these questionnaires from all three Churches have now been included in a
Parish Profile. This will give prospective candidates an insight into the
requirements for this post.
Bill and I hope to continue to work on your behalf and look forward to the
next part of the “Interregnum journey”.

Update on Reordering for March magazine
As I write these notes we are still waiting for the delivery of the special
stainless steel beams needed to form the structure of the baptistery floor over
the raised vaults. These items have had to be fabricated to order and have
taken a long time to be delivered. They are expected very soon. By the time
you read this I’m hoping the floor will be well underway and may even be
complete with the font moved to its new location.
The completion of the new baptistery and the moving of the font is critical to
the overall programme we are hoping to achieve. Moving the font allows the
west end to be handed back to us, to use as our temporary church whilst the
east end and dais works are undertaken. We are still planning to complete all
the major works by Easter, the middle of April and the works completed in the
following two or three weeks are critical to achieving this objective. It may not
be possible.
St Peter’s has been here for 1000 years so I suppose a few more weeks to
reach completion is of little consequence.
The new stone flooring at the west end is now finished and looking very good.
Some areas have been covered with protection so it’s
a bit difficult to appreciate the finished effect at the
moment but standing at the west end with the sun
streaming through the windows one can now
appreciate this wonderful new open space and the
gracefulness and grandeur of the freestanding
columns and the arcade.
The contractor has started to repair the low level areas
of walling where the removal of the pews has exposed
damaged plasterwork and is about to commence the
widening of the door opening in the north-west
corner, leading to the new toilets.
We’ve now agreed with the architect the revisions to
the furniture to go along the south wall in the
children’s area, made necessary by wanting to hide
the step in the floor over the vaults. This includes the
new book and chair stores and a new notice board by
the porch. This furniture will be installed along with
the servery against the north wall when the flooring of

Externally the structure of the new toilet block is making good progress with
the special stone window surrounds and stone facing being constructed. Work
on the toilet block roof structure should commence very soon. I’m pleased to
report that the work was inspected by John Scott of the DAC who commended
both the choice of materials and the standard of workmanship being achieved
by Crowstep, our contractor.

We all enjoy hearing about the reordering, the Mothers Union, a new recipe etc. but we would like to hear more about you. Ideas include writing an anecdote, it might be about lock down, holidays, your work/first job, school days, other churches or anything else that springs to mind. You could choose your favourite poem, hymn or even a book/film and write about why it is special to you and what might recommend it to other readers. Photos are always welcome too. Please don’t expect all submissions to immediately appear in the next magazine. We would hope to use them all over the course of time so keep them coming in - it’s never too late.

This year Ash Wednesday is on 2nd March
marking the beginning of Lent.
Lent, of course, is traditionally a time when
Christians have given something up.
However I always remember Beth Millier
saying to me that she preferred to take up something new for Lent.
Here are a few ideas that you might consider, or indeed that may spark an idea
of your own.
I like to take one book from the Bible to read and
study.
“I like to learn a new skill such as growing vegetables,
calligraphy and taking up yoga.”
“I like to do a course of Bible Study and Compline every evening in Holy
Week.” Sue Beale
“During Lent I like to spend time reading about other faiths. This year it’s
Buddhism with a bit of meditation thrown in. It’s a nice way to end the day.”
Bill Zarrett
“Jesus spent time in the wilderness
– thinking.
I like to get outside with my dogs,
whatever the weather, and indulge
in quiet contemplation.
A precious commodity in a busy
world!” Joanna H-T
I hope you can get some inspiration from these ideas and work through Lent
whilst looking forward to Easter.
Thank you for your contributions.
