Minor conservation work was undertaken on the doors as part of our centenary project, but by 2019 it had become clear that the only way to safeguard the chapel from climatic damage and water ingress, was to replace the 1957 facings.
In doing so, we were keen to reinstate the original design; drawings, sketches and archive photographs were examined to ensure a design which mirrors the original. New facings were designed and commissioned; made of English oak, the new facings will have minimal treatment, allowing them to age and weather over time as both the original doors and the 1957 facings have done.
