The survey led by consultant, Chris Atherton

Thanks to Martin Kay for use of this sketch

This survey, which sought views about the status and future of the Church and its role in the community, has now been completed and Chris will be reporting back to the project team shortly.
His report will inform the scope of our restoration and re-imagining project (as per the Master Plan) and contribute to our forthcoming Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) bid.

Roof Repairs

We have been awarded a grant of £13,110 by the National Church’s Trust and the Wolfson Foundation to repair permanently the East Church south aisle roof. This work will hopefully be undertaken this autumn.

Choir Stalls 

A faculty has now been submitted to complete the application for the removal of the choir stalls and the altar rails to improve the space available for both liturgy and performance.  Hopefully this work should be completed by the end of 2026.

Maintenance Team

In line with requirements for the HLF bid, we are also forming a small maintenance team, which will meet once a month to check and organise routine maintenance works etc. Please contact David Ellis if you wish to join this team.
We are organising an energy audit of the Church and looking to replace the damaged boiler probably, so that we can reduce our bills and have an efficient heating system before the cold weather sets in.
