Permission to make a formal offer of grant of up to £20,000 to the Rector of St. Mary’ Church towards the works to the exterior of the church.  All necessary additional information, including 3 tender documents, as required by the conditions of the grant, has been received.  This follows a letter issued to the Rector of St. Mary’s, stating an intention to offer a grant on receipt of this necessary additional information, on 21 December 2017.

The LBTH grant will contribute to the overall costs of the works to the exterior of the church, which is currently on the Heritage at Risk Register and will help to meet the church’s HLF match funding requirements.  The repairs will help to preserve a valued heritage asset and community facility.  A start date, albeit delayed, for works is imminent.
