The Friends of St Nicholas (established in 2000) are a dedicated group that have raised over £32000 for the fabric of the Church since starting their work and they and the congregation continue to contribute to the upkeep of St Nicholas.
Roy Shons Church Warden
Would anyone like to sponsor a week of the floodlights? Could you spare £12 – just a pound a month would help us keep our wonderful church lit for a whole week! All we need is 52 lovely villagers, clubs or societies and it would help enormously with the running costs over the year. Thank you Roy
