Herschel Halo infra-red heating chandelier for All Saints Church, Turkdean

1st March, 2024
We are now setting off to raise £20,000 to fund the installation of two 7800W Herschel infrared heating chandeliers, hopefully in time for the Winter!

Since the removal of the rood screen and the re-joining of Chancel and Nave, more of our congregation now sit in the Nave and these infra-red heaters will effectively heat the congregation without having to heat the whole volume of the Nave space, thus helping to fulfill the churches “net zero” ambitions.

The Gloucestershire Historic Churches Trust visited All Saints Church Turkdean in April 2024 to hear the bells recently repaired with their very generous assistance.
