St. Mary's Church Room, Sole Street - and the funding group
The Tin tabernacle was sold in kit form at a cost of about £100 and delivered by train to Sole Street Station being constructed at weekends by the congregation. The land
given by the Baker family was formerly part of Yeomans’ garden. The hall was officially opened in 1889.
The hall was modernized in the 1940/50s at a time of austerity, consequently to a very low standard, with the addition of the front porch, lean-to kitchen and toilet as well as the level of the chancel floor being raised.
The Local Funding Group wish to see the building renovated inside and out to a standard that we can be proud of. It is the responsibility of St. Mary Magdalene Church PCC to obtain grants but the group have pledged to raise £20,000 in the community to illustrate village support for these applications.
The group have been offered voluntary expert assistance by a Senior Construction Estimator, Bespoke Carpenter, Groundwork Company and willing hands to undertake manual labour. The group have now reached their target!.
