We’re making much needed improvements to the church’s heating. This new system uses under-pew heaters, which will be more effective at keeping the congregation warm, yet also considerably less costly to run! Heating is our church’s biggest running cost.

We’ve finally achieved the Diocese’s agreement of the precise cable runs, so that the medieval encaustic tiles are not affected (a big factor in being a Grade One building). The Parochial Church Council decided in February to move ahead with a new system. Electric Heating Solutions, the electrical contractors we’re using specialise in church heating; they will be installing the new heaters in mid-May. EHS have quoted £12,900 excl. VAT (the church should be able to claim back all the VAT). Oxfordshire Historic Churches Trust has awarded a £3,000 grant.

We need to raise a further £5,000 to close our funding gap.

We need your help NOW to close our funding gap!
