SS. SIMON AND JUDE’S CHURCH. This ancient structure, which stands on an elevated position on the border of the old Castle yard, has recently been undergoing renovation at the hands of Messrs. Wilford Bros., Newport Pagnell. A channel of blue Staffordshire bricks, set in cement, with drains to convey water from the church and prevent it penetrating to the foundation, thereby preventing decay, has been made outside the building. The old colour has been removed from the stone columns in the interior of the building, and the tracery of the windows and all the stonework left has been cleaned and restored. The plaster of the ceiling and walls has been thoroughly cleaned, restored and coloured with stone colour, and the whitewash removed from the woodwork of the roof and the timber stained and varnished. The work has been carried out with considerable satisfaction.
