Restoration of the West End
This building has been here in the heart of this community since 1050; it’s the oldest working building in the whole of Poole. Unfortunately the stonework in the Victorian West End is deteriorating badly resulting in internal stone corbelling failing and breaking away from the wall.
Remedial works are now essential and will involve stripping off all plasterwork to the lower part of the west end, re-plastering and making good damaged stone corbelling. In addition, all the external stonework to the West End will require repointing.
As we are a Grade I listed building work will need to be completed to exacting standards and initial estimates suggest will cost some £150,000.
Further our existing heating system is now obsolete and spare parts are no longer available. We will therefore need to replace this with a modern eco-friendly solution and this will cost a further £150,000.
Please do pop in and see the church for yourselves, knock on the Rectory door if you’d like me to accompany you. Alternatively, please do use the details above to give a gift towards this restoration work, and once again thank you.
