 Restoration of
St Nicolas Church, Cranleigh

 

As with any ancient building, we have a continuing need for the upkeep of the fabric.
Some 11 years ago we had sufficient funds to decorate the interior of the church - an easy job, only to find serious cracks in the tower area and the actual tower pulling away from the main body of the church.
We launched our first major appeal in 1997 and since then we have raised nearly half a million pounds!

Thank You !
