Ewhurst Church Restoration Projects

The church has two restoration projects:

​

Roof Repair

The church roof is urgent need of repair and this will require in excess of £1,000,000 in total. The first phase - the chancel roof -was completed in December 2019.  Work to repair the roof on the other 3 wings has not yet commenced.

​

Bell Refurbishment

The project to refurbish the mechanism for the 8 historic Ewhurst bells and to replace the 2 oldest bells, which date back to the 15th century was completed successfully in March 2018.  

​

The Heritage Lottery Fund 

awarded £26,300 of funding 

(48% of cost) for the bells, plus  

£200,000 (51%) towards the cost

of the first stage of the roof repair.
