All Saints’ Church, Nocton
At the end of 2009, we were successful in helping the PCC of All Saints' Church in Nocton obtain a joint English Heritage / Heritage Lottery Fund grant to re-roof the nave and chancel. This week, access scaffolding allowed us to examine the churches’ roof and ceiling structures. These proved to be in good condition, so only re-tiling, and not new timberwork, will be required. This positive news allows us to proceed with the preparation of documents for the stage one grant application to English Heritage in December.
