Taken from the Martha Bowles Parish Hall, this view shows where the roof of the church and the roof of the parish house connect.
Work on the roof repair, gutters, and flash continues on all sides of the nave roof. Crews have erected scaffolding to enable workers to get to the tricky corners safely. Pictured here are two view of the roof of the nave, just above what would be the back of the chancel from the inside. This has been particularly troublesome to junior wardens over the years because of the way the roof of the church connected with the roof of the parish house, which was added about 15 years after the church was completed. While the two buildings large stand alone from the outside, there’s a small area between the two buildings (the area we call the “Gallery” now) that connects them. Elaborate flashing and a flat, lead-covered roof are all that keep the elements out.
