Asbestos removed from the Abbey Organ Blower    November 2011

Having discovered asbestos in a long overdue maintenance of the Organ Blower the asbestos is being removed in early November. Once the asbestos is removed Nicholsons' of Great Malvern will be removing the old blower which is now defunct and will be fitting a new blower, hopefully in time for Christmas.

New heating to keep the congregation warmer    November 2011

Ready for the winter: thirty metres of finned piping have been fitted into the gullies underneath the twin cast iron grilles in the central aisle of Shrewsbury Abbey. Vicar, Paul Firmin said, 'It appears there may once have been heating here at some time in the past, but when the Abbey moved from a 'solid fuel' boiler and installed new radiators many years ago the central aisle was left without heating. This has meant those sitting near the central aisle were about 10 metres away from the nearest source of heat'. The pipes will deliver some 20 or more kilowatts of heating where it is needed.
