Wycombe District Council has been putting its bricklaying tools to work once again as it converts Desborough Road's St John's church buildings into the new Centre for Arts, Creativity and Enterprise.
The buildings are just round the corner from Desborough Avenue, where bricklaying tools are already being used in the construction of a new Lidl store.
Now the council is working on bringing the church buildings up to scratch for their new use.
Work has already been done to improve their resistance to water and wind, with funding provided by Wycombe District Council.
On Saturday, October 16th, 35 local people volunteered to go and help to clean the interior.
They swept, scrubbed and cleaned the entire interior of the Grade II listed building, leaving it ready for decorating.
Dance and drumming entertainment was laid on as a thank you - and the skip hired was filled within hours, the council says.
