The future of your church is in your handsCommunity Meeting in the Village Hall on Tuesday June 24th to discuss the future of the church
Following the fall of plaster from above the Chancel Arch, initial works have been completed to stop water penetrating the church from above the eastern end of the north aisle. There is more work to do, including damp problems in the south aisle, but the church has now been reopened for visits and private prayer, except for the north eastern end of the nave which will not be accessible until further notice.Unfortunately the church is not a “warm space”, except during the service on the second Sunday of each month, so please dress appropriately.

The last quote for the stonework was £12,500. We have received a very generous offer to pay for the refurbishment of the stained glass.
