Stop me and buy one
A director of the firm in white overalls and a sailor’s cap, took out the first prototype for three weeks and created a new English catch phrase — “STOP ME AND BUY ONE”
Visited St. John the Baptist Church Eastnor to see the final stage of this long running project.
The addition of the glass doors in the main entrance porch lets the light flood in to the church magnificent and keeps the heat in.

Congratulations Eastnor Church Tower Appeal Committee End of Phase 1
The Eastnor Church Tower Appeal Committee was formed in November 2017 with the formidable task of fundraising, organising and overseeing the restoration of the 13th Century Tower, building an extension on the north side the church and the restoration of the bells.
With generous support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Herefordshire Historic Churches Trust, as well as a number of local charities and community fundraising, the committee has achieved its goals.
The extension has provided much needed toilet facilities and a store room, together with a beautiful oak servery at the back of the north aisle where hot refreshments are served after each service.
The committee has also installed a flat-screen TV and Wi-Fi in the church. These enable us to present videos about the history of the Church and allow access to the heritage materials that were catalogued and compiled as part of the project. The Wi-Fi connection has also enabled installation of a card reader giving terminal.
The final stage of this project was the installation of a new boiler and glass doors in the main entrance porch in November 2024, with latin cross manifestations on each door. The new boiler and glass doors will help us to heat the church more efficiently and control heat loss when the main door is opened.
The original oak benches were removed to allow the installation of the glass doors and will be modified and reinstalled in the front part of the porch.
This will provide a larger area behind the glass doors for people to gather before the main door is opened.
The projects which were planned in 2017 have now been completed. This has taken an incredible amount of work by the committee over a seven year period, raising funds and navigating obstacles with professional efficiency during the very difficult times of COVID and lockdown.
