Launch of The Appeal for St Nicholas Church

The Friends of St. Nicholas have announced the launch of the appeal for St Nicholas Church ‘The Next 1000 Years’.

As with many historic buildings, the church once again requires significant restoration. Hence this appeal to prepare the church for the next millennium. The launch event will take place on the evening of Thursday, 21 May, at the church and will include talks by Sir Loyd Grossman, a lifetime advocate for heritage causes, and Gabriella Smith our eminent historic building surveyor.

If you have yet to receive an invite and would like to attend or learn more about the appeal and the work required to the church, please contact Hector Smith at Banks Barn smithhstephen@aol.co.uk
