Aldeburgh Church: Have written to Fr Jolly about the options for the Tower. Note that the original architect for the tower was said by Fr Jolly not to be in business, but this is not the case. Hence there is a problem of professional etiquette and they are happy to write to Mr Reid if required to do so.
Witton Church: Noted comments on design; preliminary sketches for Board meeting on 30th [November 1954].

HBarry CC Hastings writes that he has net Fr Mossey in Yarmouth. Also looked at the Italian Church in Bedford - an interesting building, but better inside than out. The Bishop suggested the church at Roade - Fr Mossey agrees. So, started on designs with a view to presenting alternatives based on each building; bearing in mind that the building may become a hall instead of a church. 150 seats. need to be advised on how the local authority parking will impact the design. Budget probably £8,000.

Structural state of tower [summary]:

  1. considerable cracks in lower tower, settlement a probable cause, other cracks in church building due to same;
  2. Cracks in upper tower, affecting roof area locally, indicating settlement and tower tipping;
  3. Flintwork cracking, coming away, loss of adhesion allows water into structure behind, possibly leading to further damage;
  4. waterspout too short, leading to added dampness and aggravate settlement under way
  5. Parapet in a bad way, stones loose, iron band may be making matters worse.
    No imminent danger of collapse but the tower is "on the move" and deterioration will continue. Not recommend making good - lists significant work required - possible cost £1000. Best option to bring the tower down and continue the roof over the top of it.
    Copy of the report sent to the Bishop.

Chased up Reades to do decoration in Housekeeper's sitting room. Reviewed accounts but £3,100 is the figure being reached. This has been discussed with the Bishop who was not surprised at the extra costs arising out of repairing old buildings and emphasised that Fr Reeman had not authorised extras beyond the budget of £2,850. Some help might be forthcoming form the Diocese. Exceeding the budget is not your fault. I, as the architect, must shoulder the responsibility.
