The solution was to create French drains within the nave area radiating off the central path and flowing into the side ditches. These in turn were dug out and a layer of hard core stone laid along along the bottoms. Finally the broken drainage pipes running under the transepts were dug out to create open ditches.<br \/><\/span><\/p><p id=\"viewer-9tdqi\" class=\"XzvDs _208Ie ljrnk blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2QAo- _25MYV _1Fao9 ljrnk public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">This work will bring several positive outcomes:<\/span><\/p><p id=\"viewer-ep3a9\" class=\"XzvDs _208Ie ljrnk blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2QAo- _25MYV _1Fao9 ljrnk public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">It will carry away the standing water which &#8211; particularly when it freezes in Winter &#8211; has caused damage and die back to the central yews (pillars) in the nave.
