A church in Horley is looking for donations to save their 11th Century church building from ruin.

St Bartholomew’s is one of Horley’s oldest buildings and the spire is in danger of collapsing. The wooden shingles on the spire need repairing, as well as the tower and roof. The shingles to the spire are badly curling, several are missing and are turning green with algae. Several have fallen off, blocking gutters.

It’s Grade 1 listed and people have used the church for over eight hundred years. The church is hoping to repair the spire and roof in 2 phases and repairs to the spire should begin in spring 2022. Once the work on the roof has been completed the church will be warmer, safer, and more welcoming.
