BREAKING NEWS
In 2016 we renovated the south side of our church, funded with the help of a grant from the 'Listed Places of Worship' fund, as can be seen on here.
We have now received a grant of £233,000 from the 'Heritage Lottery Fund' towards the renovation of the North side Parapet and gutters, etc., together with the replacement of all of our 178 year old roof. We will also be updating our upper lounge kitchen area and replacing/updating the whole emergency lighting in all our building. We are starting the project on January the 14th with scaffolding being erected on both the inside and outside the church. This project will take up to 20 weeks to complete but the inside will only take 12 weeks so hopefully the church will be clear for our Easter celebrations and the work virtually completed in time for our annual Spring Fair. Many grateful thanks to the Heritage Lottery fund.
Once we have a secure roof we will be continuing to fund raise in order to carry out a major renovation project on our 178 year old historic GANN organ.
