This grade 2 listed church had suffered from the application of inappropriate surface weathering, which had lead
to extensive decay in the main tower. The whole tower had to be restored by renewing all the decaying
timbers, replacing the existing render with breathable lime rendered brick infill panels as the main
tasks. For the inclusion of additional bells, concealed stainless steel straps were introduced to brace the tower, Finally, the
clock, weathervane and leaded windows were restored.
