Reversible repairs
to medieval trusses: Structural joints were destroyed by woodworm.
Lacking funds to scarf in new oak, plywood flitch plates were bolted
across damaged joints to restore the structural continuity.
The rotten
laths were carefully picked out and the ancient ceiling plaster
re-fixed in the bays between trusses and purlins. None was lost
in the process.
The work
was grant aided by Cadw. |
St
Gwenog's Church, Llanwenog: phase 2
St Gwenog's Church, listed as Grade I, is the most complete medieval
church in Cardiganshire with a fine late C15 roof and tower.
Roger Clive-Powell's involvement goes back to the late seventies
when the tower and medieval roof had become extremely precarious.
The first phase was to secure the tower. This second phase was to
save the near-derelict medieval roof structure & plasterwork.
