The VESTRY ROOMS.

A Vestry Room is classed as a room where the Clergy put on their vestments 

& store their sacred vessels & records.

Our St Andrew's Presbyterian Church has two Vestry Rooms..
one on either side of the Chancel & Pulpit

The Rooms are joined by a raised floor of two steps..
which will be kept.

This Vestry Room on the southern side was used by the Children for Sunday School .

For now it's used as our bedroom.... 

only until the Renovation takes place.

It has a great view of the main hall, right through to the Vestibule,

with both Vestry Rooms having the same square windows made of gold lead light glass.

View to the Vestry room on the northern side,

which has a small kitchen installed,

with a cupboard & sink behind the door.

The shelf above could possibly be the bookcase that held the prayer books 

so we've taken it down & intend on fixing it to the wall in the vestibule.

There is a Nectre Baker's Oven which is a wood fire & Baker's Oven in one.

It is amazing to cook on, I love it.

The arched wooden Kitchen door which opens to the northern side of the Church, 

where the breezes come from,

so we put up a temporary fly screen which means we can leave the door open.

Both Vestry Rooms have the old bakelite light switches,

and the old style door knobs & fittings.

These will all be kept.

We put a few cube bookcases into the northern Vestry room 

to made it more of a kitchen,

 & my husband thinks there's nothing quite like sitting in front of the fire on a cold winter's day!
