Romsey Abbey

A Church of England Demonstrator project

OUR MISSION

To demonstrate that Romsey’s 1000 year old parish church,

with the support of its congregation and the local community, can
reduce its dependence on fossil fuels
for heating and lighting and
preserve and enhance its architecture and heritage
and so lighten our impact of God’s earth
as an inspiration to others

What we are planning to do

Replacing our heating system will have the most dramatic impact on reducing our carbon emissions. but will be a complex project with many factors to consider, including avoiding adverse impacts on the fabric of our Grade I listed building.

Replacing our Abbey spotlight with LEDs can be done more easily, and will tackle the largest user of electricity in the Abbey.

Our Church Rooms heating system uses elderly gas boilers and needs to be replaced. We can also reduce energy consumption by replacing our doors and windows with double glazing.
