Background
Description
Authorisation was obtained to take down and re-erect the nave, porch and tower at a cost not to exceed £1,300. This was accomplished by carefully marking each stone and each piece of timber to correspond with drawings which had been made to ensure their correct positions, and transporting them to be rebuilt at the current site.
