689 to 2009 St John's is one of the oldest Christian sites in Europe, still functioning as a church. The current church is in need of urgent repair to keep its doors open and in these uncertain economic times its future lies in the balance. We as custodians cannot allow this to happen so on the 28th of April in the presence of His Grace The Duke Westminster we will launch an appeal for 10million pounds over the next 10years. This is extremely bold but this building must not close. We have major backing from English Heritage and are now looking for more funding to start a 10 years restoration and enhancement programme. This is the biggest building project at St John's since the middle ages. |
