As with many ancient churches, St Clement Church is in urgent need of extensive restoration. Major fundraising is being undertaken as we need to find £500,000 to:
- replace the roof and rainwater goods
- dry out the walls
- improve the heating
- repair the monuments
- repair the floor
- install an accessible lavatory
- put in a kitchen
- and much more.
As custodians of this beautiful and important heritage, we intend to restore this special building so that it is, once again, not only a building that is used for worship but is the centre of village life.
We have applied to Heritage Lottery for a grant to help us with replacing the roof and heating system. We have passed the first stage and been awarded a grant to complete the second part of the application, which has been completed. We hope to hear soon that we have been awarded the full grant and that work can begin in the autumn.
