Nash & Boraston PCC has been awarded a full Heritage Fund delivery grant of £561,305 to rebuild the tower, spire and south nave roof at Nash Church, which will secure its removal from the Heritage At Risk Register.  The project also includes funding for a range of environmental, social inclusion, access and legacy projects as well as a sizeable contingency sum which has been set aside to cover any unforeseen problems that come to light during the build.   

We have secured additional grants from other funding partners including the Benefact Trust, the Friends of Nash & Boraston Churches, Shropshire Historic Churches Trust and Lasletts Charities.The start date for the project will be April 1st 2026, and the builders who submitted the winning tender - Dan Paddock Building Services Ltd., a local firm from Ludlow - are due on site at midsummer. We are planning a couple of launch events at Nash Village Hall and Nash Church in February and March, so watch out for details in the New Year.

A link to the Heritage Fund press release which went out on December 22nd is attached, so you can read it for yourself.  There's also a link to some drone inspection footage shot by iJenko Ltd. in March 2025 so you can see the precarious current condition of the tower and spire, demonstrating why this work is essential.

Here’s to a bright future, in 2026 and beyond!
