Still To Do

Info / Donations

Project Funding

There is still a lot of work to be done on the building.  Much of the stonework and glazing still needs to be renewed and the metal guttering will need replacing some time in the future.


The toilet and shower facilities have mostly been finished by one of our members.  Space remains for shower facilities to be fitted in due course.


This building still requires a lot more work to bring it back up to a good standard and we trust that God will continue to supply all that is necessary to complete this project for His glory.

If you would like further information or if you would  like to make a contribution to the restoration of this listed building then please contact us.

About 10% of the money required for this project has been provided by various trusts in the form of grants whilst a huge percentage of the necessary funding has come from the generous giving of the Church members. Not only has this giving been financial but also many people in the Church have worked hard on the restoration. As a congregation we came to this building with hardly anything except our faith in God to provide and we are extremely thankful to Him for all the help and funding that He has brought in so far.
