In May 2022, the National Lottery Heritage Fund gave us permission to start work on replacing the nave roof and restoring stonework, after awarding us just over £248,000. The building work was completed in September 2023. It has been an amazing journey of discovery and we owe the Heritage Fund and everyone who has been involved a huge debt of gratitude. Without your support on our journey, we would not be where we are today. We still have events and activities planned as part of our commitment to the community and to the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Please watch out for information about these and come and join us.

Many thanks to basket maker, Deb Jones, for such an informative evening and to all those who visited. An enjoyable time was had by all.
Scarecrow Sunday

St Nicholas hosted a congregation of scarecrows today. It was a lovely afternoon with visitors voting on their favourites.
