About

St. Guthlacs is used by a range of communities, as well as for religious services twice a month. These communities include: school choirs and others wishing to rehearse and perform their repertoires; art groups wanting to exhibit their work; history groups organising talks and exhibitions; bell-ringing groups for practices and peals; walking and cycling groups following popular local routes; conservation groups studying the churchyard. The Friends organise Open Days with refreshments throughout the year, and summer garden parties and picnics. 

As we have no toilet facilities we currently need to provide portaloos for most of these activities. This is expensive and less than convenient!

As we have no kitchen or running water we currently need to prepare all refreshments elsewhere and transport them to the church on the day.

To install running water, drainage, toilet and kitchen facilities, and an accessible footpath from the road to the church will cost around £12000.

We can bid for 50% of this to national funding bodies but we need to raise the other £60000 ourselves.

Please help us if you can

St Guthlacs' Toilet and Servery - The Friends of St. Guthlacs

Installing essential services such as: accessible footpath, running water, drainage, toilet facilities, and servery will enable the church to be used by more people for a wider range of community functions. This in turn will mean that St. Guthlacs church is able to generate the income it needs to pay for its own maintenance and the preservation of its historical and artistic heritage.

After a lengthy application process the Diocese of Peterborough have granted the permissions needed to install these services. Architectural plans have been drawn up for works which include: connection to water main, accessible footpath with lighting, trench arch drainage system, moving of existing memorials to the body of the nave, installation of partition walls and toilet and kitchen facilities, soundproofing and decoration etc.

The total cost of these works is estimated at £120000. To date we have raised £40000. Our immediate target is the £20000 needed to reach 50% of the total, at that point we can start to apply to national granting bodies for the rest.

With your help we think we can reach this £20000 target by July 2022. Thank you very much for your donation.
