The Building

A programme developed with the Building and Crafts college at Stratford will offer college students hands-on participation in the restoration and adaptation of St Anne's through monthly sessions at the church and a rolling programme of activities covering the entire spectrum of skills being employed on the restoration: stonemasonry, brick vault restoration, floor laying, woodwork, and conservation of glass. St Anne’s will also offer two apprenticeships, one in stonework and the other in plaster work.

The work needed for the church building includes:
- Interior repairs of the building fabric
- Heating and lighting
- Heritage interpretation
- IT and sound
- A camera obscura for views across the river
- Windows and glasswork
- Masonry repair
- Flashing pointing
- Staircase and lift
- Acoustically separate meeting spaces
- Bike and buggy storage
