St Mary's, Tower and Bells. We now know that the total cost of the repair project will be close to £249,000. This includes VAT, the large majority of which will be recoverable. We are thankful that English Heritage were able to increase their stage 2 grant by £30,000 to £130,000 and we have applied for a number of other grants to close the gap on the total needed. We continue to be grateful for the ongoing fund raising and donations from the wider community. As well as this we have recently had some good news about the Grant from the Church Building Council, so overall we are feeling happier about the funding of the project. The repairs are going well, and the Bells are now back in place and been rung several times. Thank you! To all who have helped in any way towards the major repair works to St Mary's Church High Bickington over the last few years. The bells are ringing again! The Church Hall The internal decorating is now complete and the new curtains have been hung. The school are now using the hall for lunches as well at other times, allowing the use of the old kitchen to help accommodate the growing number of children in our catchment area. The hall is still be available for general hire although obviously with some restrictions. |
