Place to Go  - the model and the vision 

This scale model of the church and its immediate neighbouring buildings has been updated to show the proposed Place to Go additions.

 The model was originally built in 1992 to show the then proposals for The Foyer. This was subsequently built and continues to fulfill its original objectives of providing a service to the Hampton and Hampton Hill communities since 1993.

 The updated model for the Place to Go project includes the spire and new cross, the stained glass window and the front glazed entrance. But it is inside where the real changes start. We are opening up the front of the church with a big sliding glazed screen to link the sanctuary with a cafĂ© in the front, replacing the pews with chairs to give maximum flexibility for your community activities and creating a gallery for meetings and contemplation.

This is an image of the proposed remodelling of our church, complete with a new spire, new stained glass window and new glazed entrance... but it is inside where where the real changes start. We are opening up the front of the church with a big sliding glazed screen to link the sanctuary with the cafe in the front, replacing the pews with chairs to give maximum flexibility for your community activities and creating a gallery for meetings and contemplation.

We have planning permission for this ambitious vision and now need to raise £580,000 by 2017 to realise it.

The image on the right shows the present layout of the sanctuary with pews and the rear partition...
... how much better will it look with the glazed screen, the new stained glass window, now visible from the sanctuary, the flexible space with chairs and the first floor gallery?
