Although, the Heritage Lottery Fund have promised us £270,000, this will not cover the full cost of the repairs, particularly after the full extent of the problems has come to light. We have been set a target of £50,000 which should be enough to complete the restoration work.

We will be exploring other funds and charities that may be willing to support our appeal but we will need to find other ways to fill the gap!

Work is now ongoing to prepare the full restoration scheme and gain the necessary approvals from the Diocese, English Heritage and the Heritage Lottery Fund. This is likely to take several months to complete and it will be 2017 before the full restoration scheme can commence.  It may be necessary to close the church whilst the work is undertaken but we will provide plenty of notice and alternative service arrangements if necessary.
