Calvary Charismatic Baptist Church, Poplar
A&RME have worked together with Calvary Charismatic Baptist Church since 2014: helping them devise a phased programme of conservation-led repairs which will rehabilitate their iconic building, the former Trinity Methhodist Church by architects Handisyde & Stark, with noted structural engineer Felix Samuelly.
The building has been place on Historic England’s Register of Buildings Risk as of 2006, & has received significant funding from Historic England as well. The first phase of external repairs to recover the nave roof is currently on site with Principal Contractor Bakers of Danbury.
The project is due for completion in May 2017.
