Victoria Prentis toured the updated West End Works at St Mary’s Church, meeting members of the church’s leadership team.
The renovations encompass a new kitchen, bathrooms, an updated heating system, a live streaming set-up and an updated vestry.
Ms Prentis said: “It was fantastic to see this beautiful church, which has been thoughtfully updated many times since the 12th Century.
“It’s good to see that this continues to happen with a new state-of-the-art AV system, a new kitchen, and loos that have recently been installed.”
She added: “St Mary’s is a cornerstone in our community, busy not only with worship services but also weddings and funerals.
“The upgrades will be brilliant to ensure that the church can thrive as a hub for social opportunities.”
