Church Re-roofing Project

It is over four years ago that the Church took the decision to re-slate the numerous roofs covering the
premises. The original roofs were erected in 1866. In 2014, it was apparent that the roofs were beyond
economic repair and needed complete renewal.
After much hard work, the Church was successful in applying to the Listed Places of Worship: Roof Repair
Fund and received a grant of £84,800 towards a cost of over £138,000. The difference was to be covered
from Church funds.
Without the Roof Repair Fund, which is part of the National Heritage Memorial Fund, it would have
been doubtful if the project would proceed.
The re-roofing has now been completed and the Church expresses its appreciation for the support of
the Fund financially and its officers for the support and advice they have generously provided.
