Update: July Site Visit

Update 15th July 2025

Here’s a selection of photos from the latest site visit to the work to create The Link Centre & Gateway Lodge.

~ Trinity Hall plaster/ceiling repairs and redecoration are finished. The wainscotting is complete and painted, the new radiators and new uplighters are installed. It is bright and light.

~ The balcony panelling is painted; the filigree work is regilded, and new feature lights are installed.

~ The new Heritage White paint brings out the colours in the stained-glass.

~ The organ is temporarily screened off – there will be a new wooden screen – to match the balcony panelling

~ Cornerstone’s temporary kitchen in Trinity Hall is built - this kitchen will be removed when the coffee shop returns to the Cornerstone building

~ The Link structural floor slab is complete, as is the large retaining wall, and bricklaying for the Link wall has started

~ Scaffolding is up on the Station Road side (now the Link floor is complete). Repairing/painting windows, repointing, gutter replacement etc is being done - as already completed on the other three sides

~ In Gateway Lodge water pipes for heating, hot and cold water (for the en-suites etc) are installed. There will be a new ceiling below them.

~ The new doors into Trinity Hall from the Church Street Foyer

~ The new access ramp to Trinity Hall is being installed.

All of the work is part of Ashbourne Reborn - you can find out more about the programme at www.ashbournereborn.co.uk
