On Wednesday 18th June 2025, a group of villagers met - along with our new rector Canon Mark Collinson, Helen our fantastic church warden, and Holly from Ely Diocese/Heritage Fund.

We have formed a committee of 8 members, to spearhead the renovations required, to make our beautiful Church useable once again. Situated in the heart of the village, the church has sadly been closed since 2022.

The Committee have created a Facebook page, to keep the community and congregation informed on the renovation works which need to be completed, along side access to this website to post updates as and when progress is made.

We value the impact our local church has on villagers - which was widely expressed when a survey was sent out, with 51 responses.

Most respondents see the church as a historical and emotional centerpiece of the village. Most respondents said that the church was either the ‘hub’ or ‘heart’ of the village, and that it holds significant value for life events (weddings, funerals, christenings) and community gatherings. Over ½ of the respondents discussed the importance of the churchyard.

We aim to keep everyone informed on our progress, as well as involve villagers by engaging with our local school and community groups.

At present, the four main areas which need to be addressed are:

​a. Renew the drainage
​b. Address rainwater goods
​c. Replace ceiling
​d. Re-order internally, including organ dismantle and removal during works, redecoration, appropriate kitchen, toilet, lighting and heating for wider community use.

Our church has been identified and listed on the Historic England Heritage at Risk Register. This means we are able to apply (eventually) for funding from National Lottery Heritage Fund.

The committees next steps are to compose a mission statement, and begin the process of appointing an architect, to define the scope of the works required.
