Our lovely church, St John the Baptist in Cherington needs some TLC…

See report below on the ‘Quinquennial’ from Roger Maycock of the PCC:

‘Certain repair and restoration work needs to take place on the structure of our village church.  As custodians of this ancient building, the PCC have had a thorough survey (commonly known as a Quinquennial) undertaken by an approved professional.

The result of which is that we will need to commence a programme of works which is estimated could cost in the region of £60,000 (at current rates).  This can be scheduled over a staged period to fit with the degree of urgency of the various facets of work.  The biggest single item is the restoration of the Nave window which is estimated to cost £12,000.

Our aim is that the church will remain open for the majority of the time, and certainly for the services that normally take place.’
