It was November sometime in the 1960’s, the weather was chilly and the winds blew.
A tower inspection was needed at St John Baptist Church, Cirencester.
“Cherry-pickers” were often used by specialists to inspect ancient stonework. The hydraulic platform lifted the architect to take a closer look. This is an inspection that the church had to carry out at intervals. A close-up look was often necessary as well as stonework checks using regular over-the-counter binoculars.
As you can imagine, it was very wobbly up there!
