We are currently planning for a re-ordering of our Lady Chapel. The plans will include the provision of more accessible seating and additional storage.
This image is of the Lady Chapel as it currently exists, showing the side-facing pews (one of which is not safe to sit on).
Links below are to copies of documents and plans submitted to St Albans Diocese to get a faculty for the re-ordering (similar to planning permission).

Sadly, it has become increasingly obvious that the bench is in a fairly hazardous position in relation to crumbling/falling masonry from the west face of the tower.
We are therefore planning to remove it, cut out the concrete which is to be replaced with turf.
In Conjunction with the Need Project, Shefford Methodist Church are now opening their church each Wednesday morning, 9.30- 11.00 am to offer 'best before date' food to anyone in need.
Anyone is welcome to use this “Hub” - no referral is needed.
This will not affect families / individuals who already get food parcel deliveries from the Need Project.

We have been asked to share with you a link to a pastoral video message from Bishop Alan Smith in response to the energy crisis:
We are currently seeking permission from the St Albans Diocese to replace the cloudy and yellowed plastic panels that currently protect most of our Church windows. The plan is to replace them with steel mesh panels (as has already been done with the large west window if you would like to see what they look like).
As part of getting permission to do the work from the Diocese (called a Faculty), we are required to publish the relevant documents, pictures etc where they can be easily seen by members of the public. This includes this website, so here is a link to the document.
