We’ve already had to carry out
major work on the roof, the tower and the high level masonry of the
church.
Unfortunately, rainwater is still getting
into the stonework and damaging the walls. We are worried this might
be affecting the foundations and the very stability of the building,
which is pretty serious!
We therefore urgently need to carry out
further repairs to the masonry, replace all the rainwater goods and
check the foundations. Once we’re sure we’re keeping all
the water out, we can then repair the plasterwork inside and redecorate.
Just to remove all the existing wall
finishes and redecorate the interior of the church (not including
the repairs to the plasterwork) will cost in the region of £25,000.
That’s why we need to raise so much money. (next)
