Contract Signed

posted 27 Apr 2018, 15:40 
A contract has been signed with Hutton Construction to refurbish the building 
and to add an additional floor. The building will be brought up to the latest 
standards after 118 years service to the Muswell Hill community.

Work will commence in June 2018 and will be re-opened in July 2019. 
In the meantime services are held in the temporary chapel accessed via 
the Queens Avenue entrance.

This exciting project involves a complete refurbishment of the external fabric 
including a new roof and the removal of the pebble dashing. The old tower 
room will be demolished to make way for a new staircase to access the extra 
floor that will be installed and used as a 150 seat venue. On the ground floor
 the existing entrance will be blocked off and a 50 seat chapel will be created 
with a large cafe area to encourage visitors to mix with each other. Our hope is
that this will become an important meeting point for residents of Muswell Hill.
