Project managers appointed

It is with great excitement and gratitude that we welcome John Patrick and Anne Irving who have undertaken to guide us through the sticky mire of grant funding, regulations and fundamentally getting all the processes in the correct order.

They have tremendous experience between them having both worked in much the same capacity at Lincoln Cathedral.

On its way towards being a wonderful community space

The question of what to build to replace the fallen tower has already been discussed. Experts have told us that getting funding for a tower would be next to impossible, but a light and airy porch could reuse materials from the old one and be high enough to hang the bells.

Villagers have been asked what they would like to see happening in their church in the future. This resulted in many ideas such as Children's Playgroups, Baby and Toddler Groups, Craft Making Workshops, an Audiovisual Unit promoting our Social History and Wild Flower Churchyard, as well as village functions such as quizzes, concerts, exhibitions and film nights.

Developing the space so that it can be hired out for functions would enable an income to be generated.

There are many things to be taken into account in order to make this work but on the whole .......High Toynton Church is on it's way towards being a wonderful community space as well as a modern, inclusive place of worship.
