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?

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

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.
