History
Target Reached
| Our
Church is now 130 years old. We have former
generations to thank for this beautiful building with its spire
visible from every approach to our town. Over the years much has
been done to keep the building wind and watertight and to add to its
accommodation – a new hall, lounge and kitchen, memorial chapel, new
organ, heating system, new cloak rooms, disabled access and much
more. Some of this work was made possible by the generous direct
giving of our members but much of this work has been paid from money
bequeathed to us by former generations One hundred and thirty years of wind, rain and frost had taken it's toll on our beautiful red sandstone building. For the last four we have been fundraising, applying for grants, asking our congregation to give towards our Renovation Project, and at last we have reached our target! Needless to say that, in
addition to the original costs, there are always
extras arising. For example,
organ refurbishment, outside
ground works,
painting and decorating.
All of these the result of the Renovation Work
causing dust in the Church , and ground distubance
outside due to workmen, lorries etc.
All unavoidable but all need to be fixed and paid for. However, so far we have been able to complete all the work on the windows and the stonework repairs and more importantly we are able to pay our bills!I am sure you all know and appreciate how much hard work and effort was put in by the “Renovation Team”, but I am sure I speak for everyone when I say thanks to everyone in the congregation who gave so generously towards our target, and put up with the inconvenience of all the building works as it was being done! Thank You and God Bless!
