Development Programme
We are delighted to announce the award of an HLF grant of £118K to develop plans for the conservation and refurbishment of the church building and Old Congregation House, and the institution of a new Learning and Education Centre.
This is a great boost to our £5 million overall project. Thanks to the University and the Clore Duffield Foundation we have already raised 1.7m for the first phase of the work – the Old Library and Church Office.
Currently work progressing on a new church office, interview room, toilets and heating system, which should be completed soon after Easter 2010.
