Friends of St Margaret's

Friends of St Margaret’s has been set up with charitable status. This will help us to fund raising events and apply for grants towards the restoration work. Meanwhile, a very varied programme of events is being drawn up with the idea of having fun whilst making a start on our mammoth fund raising effort. Any donations or offers of help will be warmly welcomed.

The cost of the work

The total cost of all the work necessary to preserve St.Margaret’s will be in excess of £500,000. In 2006 we set up the Friends of St. Margaret’s, a registered charity, to raise money for the restoration. At present, we have around £58,000 and are awaiting the outcome of a grant application to English Heritage but, even if this is successful, we will still need to raise funds to save the church for future generations.

We believe that St. Margaret’s is so much a part of our local and national heritage that it deserves support from a wider community, and we hope that you will feel able to help the project in any way you can.
