@TolpuddleOCT @HeritageFundL_S @HistoricEngland @SSHConservation We’re so proud to be part of this historic project.

Another important stage of the groundwork for the old chapel project is the laying of the service channels and drains by MCB Civil Engineering. Another welcome step in the detailed construction works on site. @HeritageFundL_S @HistoricEngland @SSHConservation @Greendale_Build

@TolpuddleOCT @SSHConservation @HE_SouthWest Great progress!

Considerable progress is being made both inside and outside the Old Chapel. View Chris & Glynn of Greendale constructing the walls of the extensions. @SSHConservation,@Greendale_Build,@HeritageFund_S,@HE_SouthWest,

As part of the 7th TOCT AGM, our trustees were joined by Project Manager, Crystal Johnson & Treasurer, Colin Huckle, to start forward planning for the autumn when the renovated Old Chapel should be open.. @HeritageFund_S,@HistoricEngland, @SSHConservation, @Greendale_Build

See the skilful work of Greendale bricklayers as they construct the retaining walls around the Old Chapel. Learn about the process to renovate the brick plinths by Strachey’s stonemasons.@SSHConservation, @Greendale_Build, @HeritageFund_S,@HE_SouthWest.

@TolpuddleOCT @SSHConservation Great updates and thrilled to be part of this amazing project.

Work continues to ‘open up’ the interior of the Old Chapel. Evidence of the ‘stable phase’ of the building is coming to light. How much larger the building looks when empty! Outside, preparations start for the reinforced retaining walls. @SSHConservation, @Greendale_Build

Say hello to Sam Wright, Greendale's lovely carpentry apprentice. Sam is studying towards his 3 year NVQ Level 3 in site carpentry, and is mentored by one of Greendale's senior site carpenters. #greendaleconstruction #nationalapprenticeshipweek

Update 12 shows the discovery of the original floor level of the chapel, the detailed work to renovate the internal brick plinth & the marking out of the extension to the east. You also get a glimpse into the ‘site control centre’. @SSHConservation, @Greendale_Build

Three TOCT Trustees recently made a site visit to Tolpuddle Old Chapel to be briefed about the progress of construction. Thanks to John Mullins our Site Manager. @HeritageFundL_S @HE_SouthWest @SSHConservation @Greendale_Build #Heritage #Dorset #History.

Tolpuddle Old Chapel site this morning. Everything packed away over Christmastide, awaiting construction to restart again on 4th January 2022. @heritagefundL_S @HE_SouthWest @SSHConservation, @Greendale_Build, #Heritage,#Dorset

Lewis & Jack of MCB Civil Engineering worked tirelessly on a cold damp Friday to lay the first stage of the reinforcement to the west & north of the building. @HeritageFundL_S @HE_SouthWest @SSHConservation @Greendale_Build #heritage #Renovation

A fantastic project that we're proud to be involved in. #greendaleconstruction #heritage #tolpuddle
