Since the Friends was established, we’ve raised over £100,000 and we’ve spent almost £75,000 on maintaining and improving the church building. Due to the age of the church and its listed status, much of the work we fund requires specialist craftsmen. Here are just some of the projects we’ve been involved in over the years:
- Full refurbishment of the church clock: £6,000
- Major conservation and refurbishment of the east window: £26,000
- Repairs to the three lancet windows in the chancel: £6,000
- Refurbishment of the porch: £1,500
- Repairs to the roof and gutters: £6,600
- Stonework repairs, including vestry windows & chancel door: £6,600
- Internal plastering in the chancel: £1,000
- Miscellaneous small repairs: £3,500
- Repairs to all 16 external buttresses and the Bishop’s Doorway: £9,500
- Repair of the east wall and replacement of stone cross: £5,900
