Works continue at Huggate

Thanks to a National Lottery Heritage Fund grant St Mary’s was able to undertaken repair and renovation works to allow the Church to remain a central role in the community.

The first phase of the works included the removal of the Victorian pews and unsafe flooring, replacing with new insulated limestone floor, with the installation of new heating and lighting as well as accessible toilets and servery facility to provide refreshments during events.

Works are due to complete in July 2024.
