Have I got old news for you! pete kilgannon 13th November 2005
While seaching the archives for the dates of some material for the completed Church House display, I discovered that I had never put the thermal imaging research onto this site, although I had published it on the local village site. The next planned news, before the report of the official re-opening, is to cover the work of our main contractors Darrock & Brown. Until I can get that together and to ensure this research is included on the site archives, I reproduce the report below. |

The builders are now in Church House , knocking down partitions, removing ceilings, chipping out mortar.
What they can't see is behind the walls and for this a Thermal Imaging expert Robert Demaus was called in. |
First the equipment must be cooled down to a very low temperature because it works by detecting temperature changes.
Next it was carried into the building and set up ready for action.

Robert explains his procedures to Allen Van der Steen, the architect and the builders. |
A visual check is made on an alcove that was thought might have been a window
The Imager will be able to detect any previous opening in the wall.

Robert must now continue all round the room and then move from room to room
Finally he will take all the film back to his laboratory and produce his report for the Church House Management Committee
