Church Restoration
All the recent restoration work on Gortnahoe Church has been on the inside of the Church. As well as removing the existing plaster, the many coats of new lime and sand plaster have had to be put on and allowed dry. Now the final coat is about to be put on the walls, so it is great to see this progress. This week work is beginning also on bringing the outside walls and railings to be fully repaired. All your funds are really necessary.
