What we need to do

Structural Survey

David Scott, a Truro based consultant at Scott and Co. undertook a structural survey of the Chapel in August 2017. His report considered the external construction and condition of the building, its interior and  a summary of services and environmental factors.

Three years on and we can now begin work - but... we are desperately short of funds!
