Spiral heating pipe coil in Chancel


Pipework set around base of column


Typical sinuous pipe coil in main Church area



Twin expansion pipes at the base of the tower.
1 inch bore pipework at floor level of the aisle.

                                             The heating system is the high pressure type as designed by A M Perkins. All the pipework in the distribution system is
                                    installed at floor level alongside the plinth of the Pews in the Aisles and on external walls where space permitted. One
                                    special rectangular spiral heating pipe coil is fitted in the Chancel.  There are several low level sinuous pipe coils sited
                                    around the external walls of the Church.

This Perkins heating installation is an excellent example of this type of system, and retains on display all of its original pipework including the double expansion pipes with its filling and air venting points.
