ONE of Reading’s oldest churches could see a new wall installed.
Reading Minster Church of St Mary the Virgin in Chain Street has applied to Reading Borough Council to install the railings along the church’s service yard, which runs between St Mary’s Butts and Chain Street. It will take in an existing section which is broken.
The plan has been submitted by Reading Central and Abbey Quarter Business Improvement District (BID).
The church is Grade I listed, and dates back to Norman times. It received extensive repairs in the 1550s using stones and wood from Reading Abbey.
To view the application, log on to Reading Borough Council’s planning website, and search for 230228.
