Fishlake St. Cuthbert - funding needed - £$€ - we value any currency!


Fishlake St. Cuthbert is a magnificent Grade 1 Listed Major Parish Church that is entering a new period of urgently needed funding to provide the means to effect repairs, conservation, restoration and some improvements.


The Church has been carefully examined and documented and is well-understood. The structure is monitored, safe, well-cared for and proactively maintained. 



Current projects:

1 – 14th century font - to establish the causes of stress cracking and plan a programme of repairs and conservation.


2 – Re-decorating under the tower for community use.


Future project in planning:

3 – A new heating system – under investigation - the 1901 system has to be replaced to meet current and future ECO standards.


If you can support us with a donation towards to any of these projects, it will be greatly appreciated - thank you! 

To donate, please contact Wendy Brownbridge (Focal Minister) on 07711 747574, or Peter Pridham (Churchwarden).


Recent works completed include:


Thanks to very generous funding support from within the village and elsewhere, urgent works now completed in 2024 are:


 *the complete restoration of the 100 + years-old clock face, including the  regilding of the numerals*


 * the repairs to the foundations of the west facing central tower pinnacle*


 * the interlinked bracing of all four central tower pinnacles and repairs to the west window*


With the building of the church probably commencing somewhere around 1150, at circa 875 years old there are naturally many areas needing attention, and the PCC remains committed to continuing the process of repairs and renewal to keep this fine old church open daily.
