Since 2000, about £725,000 has been spent repairing our 800 year old landmark building. According to the latest architect’s report about £330,000’s worth of work still needs to be done
The last project, to repair the Victorian glass and Tudor stonework nave clerestory windows, was completed just before Christmas 2021 at a cost of £125,000 net of VAT. Opportunity was taken to also do structural repairs to the roof, improve roof drainage and decorate the top level of the nave.
The next urgent project is to replace the Tower lead roof and alter the poorly designed drainage. Water ingress has allowed beetle infestation and rot of timbers beneath the roof. The project design has been done, a Faculty obtained (C of E planning permission), and tenders obtained. Total cost including professional fees will be about £100,000. All that is needed is funding.
