The Friends of St Laurence
Future Projects
A recent survey of the condition of the church building identified a fairly extensive list of much-needed repairs, restorations and other improvements. The work has been categorised according to urgency and will be undertaken as a series of project phases over a three to five year timescale as and when available funding permits.
The main areas of work, which are to do with masonry and roofing repairs, together with some provisional cost estimates are shown below.
The total cost of all the work could be upwards of £200,000 but this will be confirmed through competitive tendering. The high-level roadmap shows the timeline for when the work could be done.
