David Norris (General Secretary) acknowledging the application for East Anglia - to be pout to the Finance Advisory Committee

Referring to Mr Dodds (English Heritage) letter. David Hatcher is acting for both Meryemana and IHCT; "... still bemused by the number of bodies involved." "...onerous nature of the English Heritage requirements will mean considerable expense ...". Suspect that Ipswich BC will be unable to approve in the light of these comments, hence the Trust cannot agree to Meryemana unless the requirements are satisfied. Meeting required to discuss way ahead?

Form signed by A Rossi providing details of proposed works submitted for approval:

1. removal of existing unsightly external protection form all windows
2. Cleaning and if necessary repair of existing stained glass and stonework of east window
3. Installation of new stained glass West window.

Form detailing applicant, place and type of works applied for.

Application regarding repairs to Slipper Chapel needs Bishop's signature

Encloses correspondence for Norfolk LEA about a non-catholic child for Beccles school. Important to be able to take on such children.
2 references for the enclosures [not present].

Form II (Receipt Application) forwarded along with meeting date (25 June). The application has been sent to North Norfolk District Council and the Amenities Bodies.

No further point in trying to persuade English Heritage to agree to the removal of the pews. So either modify your proposals or forget St Nicholas. The IHCT cannot contemplate the expense of meeting Mr Dodd's (EH) proposals. Suggests other Churches which Meryemana Foundation might like to investigate instead: St Mary-le-Quay, St Clement, St Peter.

ICHT are happy with proposals in general terms but cannot move because of English Heritage, Borough Council and Church Commissioners. Await outcome of your discussions with English Heritage, who may be willing to negotiate on some points in their letter
