St Andrew’s Church, Rockbourne
29th June 2022The bells can ring out again, thanks to work Greendale Construction recently completed on the grade 1 listed, 900 year old church and bell tower of St Andrew's Church, Rockbourne, Fordingbridge. Fortunately, the church was allocated £12,000 by the National Churches Trust (NCT) and £7,500 by the Wolfson Foundation to help fund the repairs. Vice-president of the Trust is none other than broadcaster Huw Edwards, best known as the presenter of the BBC's News at Ten. Huw was quoted as saying: "The latest funding is a much-needed lifeline for churches and chapels, many of which are struggling to raise money to keep their buildings in good repair. The grants will safeguard unique local heritage and provide a real boost to the people who look after and use churches and chapels for worship and for many important community activities." Read more »
