A commencement has been made with the construction of a side chapel and vestry at St Matthew's Church, the work being part of the original building scheme. It is expected that the chapel, which will accommodate about forty people and will be used for week-day services, will be a very beautiful addition to the church. The cost of the work is over £2000.
