The Shine Appeal was our project to raise £250,000 for the restoration and cleaning of the stonework of our beautiful church.  The church was closed from June through to September 2013 whilst the work was completed.

THE RESTORATION – WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE?

It was many years since the interior of was restored and the damage of time was evident everywhere. Repairing the leaking roof together with specialist cleaning of the interior brickwork, undoing the pollution damage on walls, statues, neo Gothic and Norman artefacts, were our primary goals.

 

 

What Now?
