THE BUILDING
A building has been on this site since about 800AD. The first one was probably wooden. There have been lots of changes over the years with bits added on or demolished (especially when the tower fell down!) The present roof was put on in the 1930s and the Church Rooms were added in the 70s and added to again in the 90s.
In 2005 we embarked on some much needed work, starting as we were advised with the outside. We have received grants which have enabled us to restore the stonework, windows and so on.
We have recently put in five modern fan driven radiators which should mean the church is WARMER in the Winter!
THE CHURCH IS OFTEN OPEN IN THE AFTERNOONS FROM EASTER TO SEPTEMBER - LOOK FOR THE 'CHURCH OPEN' SIGN.

The next stage is the inside.
Some tentative plans have been drawn up by the Architect, but it will be some time before we can do anything as we will need to raise a lot of money first.
The most important aspects of this is to sort out the heating, the electrics and the rot in the floor.
While we are planning these things it seems sensible to make the building as versatile as possible.
